Keiichi Yabu

So the mystery Japanese pitcher has been determined as indeed Keiichi Yabu. Apparently, he has an agreement of 1 year/ 1 million with an option for 06; a very good idea as far as flexibility and price.

The one thing that caught my attention is that we have actually made a deal with an American! agent, Arn Tellum. The fact that the deal was low is somewhat encouraging. For now, Meyer will almost be assured of starting in Triple A with the possibility of coming up with the team as a midseason to September callup in-order to keep his MLB clock from starting.

Now I can't wait for the first Yabu-san and Ichiro dual.
