Also, he played with Tadahito Iguchi for 8 years
Yeah, that's who I'm talking about. That's the main reason I'm skeptical...because he doesn't speak English. Aren't translators allowed though?

Plus the whole Mets/bad luck with the Japanese thing also makes me a little skeptical. I wouldn't mind inviting him to ST, but I wouldn't necessarily wanna guarantee him a spot on the MLB roster.
