I don't think the Seibu Lions made a very good choice with John Wasdin, especially if they're considering him for a spot in their rotation as the article says.
To be fair, he did have arm problems when he was with the Giants in 2002. But then again, he has the nickname, "Wayback Wasdin," for a good reason.
If he's going to have any success in Japan this time at age thirty-six, it should be in a relief role.

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.
