Projections for Japanese hitters

[Guest]

Just wondering what you guys project for hideki, Kaz and Ichiro...even So Taguchi if you can be bothered!!!

why not add a korean guy? Hee-sup Choi from the Marlins. Kid's young and has quite of a power.

I live in Japan, so i know exactly how good these guys were over here, and i have my expectations too. I am just simply curious to hear what you guys expect.

I knew Ichiro would do well, I knew hideki wouldnt put up the power numbers that were expected, and ive been watching Taguchi hang around on the fringe too. As for Kaz, I have seen him play over here and am very high on him too.

I expect Ichiro to put up the same numbers as usual, hideki will improve in every category, and I expect Kaz to do as well as Hideki this year with more stolen bases. I expect both Matsuis to put up 20; homeruns this year

I think 20 HR might be just a bit high for Kazuo Matsui; it is Shea, after all. We'll see, though - more power (no pun intended) to him!

I sure hope they live up to some of these predictions! I've got Ichiro and both Matsui boys on my team!
