Ohka Traded to Brewers
The Nationals traded pitcher Tomo Ohka [Stats - MLB.com] to the Brewers for second baseman Junior Spivey. Ohka was 4-3 with a 3.33 ERA in 10G/9GS. However, Ohka has 27 BB to 17 K in 54 IP. Brewers' GM Doug Melvin said, "We expect him to give us a proven starter pitcher to add to our rotation." [News - MLB.com] [Press Release - MLB.com]

After his run-in with Frank Robinson, he was on his way out of town. It'll be interesting to see how he will handle Ned Yost, the Brewers' manager.

His disrespect of manager and legend Frank Robinson, to whom he refused to yield the baseball, bought him a one way ticket out of Dodge.

It will be interesting if Ohka continues his good pitching for the Brewers, though Ohka needs to cut down the walks.

Ohka threw a complete game shutout against the Devil Rays in his first start for the Brewers. Ohka gave up 9 hits, walking none, and striking out 6. [Game Recap - MLB.com] [Box Score - MLB.com]

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
