This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

The Bulls released OF Jorge Guzman after 10 games. He was batting .180 with 2 HRs and 9 RBIs. Guzman was signed to replace the struggling Wilton Veras.
However, I don't know why the Bulls released Pete LaForest over Veras. LaForet was batting .333 with 1 HR and 5 RBIs in 8 games with the Bulls minor league team at that time. The decision probably came down to loyalty as Veras was in his fourth season in the CPBL and had helped the Bulls win games in the past.
