Am Not Japanese But Hey!

Forgot to mention these 2 little tid bits. The Hanshin has traded the one of the young pitchers that they had Taiyo Fujita to Seibu Lions for some backup help in center field. The will get Shogo Akada. Now you would think of this as a terrible trade mainly because the Tigers already have Akahoshi in the center. But after you look at it very closely. The Tigers have need basically because Akahoshi is not hitting as of right and is struggling. They could use him in the center. Now as for Fujita. He has not done much of anything for awhile now and Seibu needs a closer or reliever. The Lions lost Graham for awhile who was their closer. So all and all the tigers might have gotten an ok deal out of this because they have just run out of options with Fujita and don't know what else to do with him anymore. Hopefully they find something to do him.









Also there is a little speculation of Hanshin might be after GODZILLA !!!!!!!!!!!! I will leave it at that. His contact is up with the Yankees after 2010. He has always wanted to play in Hanshin so could we see an new outfielder in 2010. Time will tell.
