Guts' salary to be same in '08

Discussion in the Pro Yakyu News forum

Yomiuri Giants third baseman Michihiro "Guts" Ogasawara re-signed with the Central League club on Tuesday for an estimated annual salary of ¥380 million unchanged from this year. The signing was for the second year of his four-year contract after Ogasawara became the first player in Japanese baseball history to win back-to-back MVP awards in different leagues. Ogasawara hit .313 with 31 homers and 88 RBIs in 142 games in his first season with Yomiuri. He was the Pacific League MVP in 2006 when he was with the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters. He had surgery on his left knee last month and plans to start running at the start of 2008.

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.
