Anyone know who's going to be the next big japanese player to come to the US?
Good question. I don't really follow NPB but I've been looking at Kei Igawa's numbers and he might be a sleeper star for the damn Yankees. His raw stats aren't that much different from Matsuzaka's (whose first name, thanks to PHONICS, all of North American can now pronounce). The only thing I'm not sure is park effects.His attitude seems solid so he won't be a slacker, that's for sure.
