Another Japanese Phenom gets and ALEast Team to pony up $$$

Just for the right to talk to him....what is it with you guys!! This guy doesn't even have a super secret pitch.

 

This is nuts, and the Yankees should know better after Hideki Irabu. :?

 

Terry.....

<t>Real simple they are all looking for lightning to strike twice like Ichiro.<br/>
<br/>
Insane..................................</t>

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but the only two Japanese players that have turned out to be anything significant are Ichiro and Hideki Matsui. I also think the Japanese pitchers are used to pitching only once very seven days.

 

George...

<t>Agree and I have never been that impressed with their arms in the majors. <br/>

When you see this arbitration date pass soon there will be signings. I know two my Cards are going to ink to avoid wasting draft picks. Makes sense.</t>
