Is there anyone who follows Japan closely that has some Japanese players that they feel could come over in 2010 and become a major league player?

My minor league system allows for the ability to draft anyone as a minor league player as long as they qualify as a MLB rookie. I could even draft myself.

Would love to here some names to stash away.

That is a cool site. Yu Darvish looked real good in the WBC. I don't see anything that says an estmated arrival time or even that he definately will end up in the majors but read it is very likely at some point he will based on his talent and popularity.

The thing about the Japanese leagues is they're not automatically a FA. If their team doesn't post them, they're not coming. That's why they can't really project when/if they will be over here.
