Just wondering if there's enough interest in this, I set up one last season and I also did a hockey rendition at the trade deadline.

One of the possible Japanese imports has announced he is staying in Japan and not coming over to MLB, yet.

"Otani, Japanese high school RHP,announced that he is joining the Nippon Ham Fighters. Not challenging to the MLB at this point."
