[Cityofchampions33]

30 year old LH reliver, sounds good to let him try out for the spot

Okijama sounds like he could be a nice addition to the pen

[Gom]

If he's Japanese, sign him please!

 

That should be the motto this season.

[Cocos Disciples]

He's a solid pitcher. Says he's a lefty specialist reliever and a little bit more.

I think I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so.

If he's Japanese, sign him please!

 

That should be the motto this season.

 

If you are making fun of Japanese baseball players, we'll take that Matsui guy off of your hands.

Never seen the guy pitch but I was looking into it and he doesn't look that bad on paper at least. We will have to wait and see if the Sox do sign the guy what he can really do.

I think it's a smart move, bring a couple Japanesse guys in at the same time. Atleast that way they have someone to communicate with and make the transition to the states easier. I mean BOS isn't the easiest place in the world to play because of expectations, so anything that might help these guys get comfortable and relax i'm all for. Theres really no other LH out there so why not give it a shot, he should be cheap.
