Matsuzaka Watch

Daisuke Bulletin #2

Not much going on in the news, as related to #18, this week. I've been scanning the news for anything new in English or Japanese, and it seems to be the same ol' standard fare.

This article from the Seattle Times restates what I've been telling you all along about next year and the big Matsuzaka sweepstakes. Writer, Larry Stone, feels that the bidding will come down to the Mariners and their wealth of Japanese resources, and the Yankees and their plain ol' wealth. I wouldn't count out either the Angels or the Dodgers at this point. They are known entitied in Asia and have deep pockets. Likewise, the Mets may try to sneak up on everyone and throw a big wad of cash at Seibu, although the last transaction they tried to pull off with the Lions didn't work out so well, did it?

Stay tuned until the next turn in the rotation for our hero. Go Daisuke!
