JUNICHI TAZAWA
February 23, 2009
I learned something interesting the other day while watching Spring Training. Apparently Tazawa went against the way the Japanese go about drafting their players into MLB. I guess Tazawa didn't want to go through Japan and wanted to come directly to America avoiding drafting policies set forth by Japan. Which means that he wouldn't be able to return to Japan if he were to decide that he doesn't like playing in the majors.
Has anybody else heard anything about this? It's really not that big of a deal, but it's still very interesting. Acquiring Japanese players is always interesting in itself. I couldn't find anything else on this either.
