According to this article [Yahoo Sports], Tony Mounce of the Rangers is coming to Japan. Any idea where he might go? I don't know much about this guy, but a general rule of thumb: take Rangers' hitters, don't touch Rangers' pitching.

Well, he's a pitcher who had a 7.11 ERA in 50 2/3 inninings in Texas. Unless somebody sees a flaw in his mechanics they can fix, can teach him a new pitch, or he catches fire like pitchers sometimes do, I'd say offhand that your rule of thumb on Texas Rangers' pitchers would hold here. If none of those things occur, the MLB record suggests an ERA of over 5.00 waiting to happen, even in NPB.
Of course, he was probably better in the minors (as bad off as Texas is for pitching, they don't need that kind of performance, and if they thought he'd be that bad, they shouldn't have called him up). His whole MLB record can be found here [MLB.com].

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.
