Seiya Suzuki

[steveringo]

In an interview with a former Red Sox reliever, Seiya replies "I can't quite disclose that yet," when Koji Uehara says, "You're going to Boston, right?"... This will likely freak-out the fans Boston...

So, where do you think he'll end up? And, do you think he'll be any good?

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Hideki Matsui's age 26 season in Japan: .316/.438/.654/1.092 with 42 homers.

Seiya Suzuki's age 26 seasons in Japan: .317/.433/.639/1.072 with 38 homers.

There's a pretty solid chance he's pretty good with the bat which by itself should generate substantial interest. From what I can tell his defense probably provides a lot more value than Matsui did. With that in mind, there's a maybe some value here depending on how Suzuki's market develops.

I'd assume a larger market gets his services. But damn, he'd be such a nice fit for the Royals in RF.

 

[calsnowskier]

Lot of rumors about him and the Giants, but I assume those same rumors exist for just about every team. I think the Giants will certainly be in the mix, but there is no telling where he wants to land.

The Mariners have a pretty good track record with Japanese players. There is a fairly big Japanese community there and they support the team well.

I think a lot of Japanese born players are Mariners fans because of Icharo. They tend to be in a lot of discussions for those players just because of him.
