Just a small correction to the above statement: Graman went 5-6 with a 3.18 ERA in 23 games with the AAA Columbus Clippers (the New York Yankees' farm team), and went 2-1 with a 3.09 ERA in 5 games with AAA Louisville (the Cincinnati Reds' farm team). [Minor League Stats]
The New York Yankees designated Graman for assignment on July 29th. Which meant the Yankees had 10 days to either release, trade, or directly outright Graman to the minors. Graman became a free agent, and signed with the Reds in August. [MLB Transactions]

About
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.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

Before being called up by the New York Yankees this past season, Graman posted a 7-7 mark with a 3.16 ERA in 28 games with the Triple-A Louisville Bats of the International League.
Graman has a 90-plus fastball but scouts say he relies too much on velocity. In the minors you can get away with it but not in the Majors.
