Yu Darvish

[BSN07]

Couldn't find the other thread about him.

 

 

 

But I watched his outing against China. Kid has got some really nice pitches. Kind of looks weird with no wind up, but it seems to work for him.

 

Will be interesting to see if they post him at the end of this season.

I've heard that he's committed to a few years of pitching in Japan. Of course, for enough money he (or his posting club) might change their mind.

 

Interesting guy, I think one parent is Iranian and one is Japanese (?). He's got great stuff, a nice frame and he's still very young. If he were posted I can't imagine the Sox would stay out of it.

precisely. and yeah, he says he wants to stay in Japan for a couple years, i think it was to break the strikeouts record.
