  • El Sable Viene Bajito
    Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu Image not found or type unknown De Ichiro Suzuki se echará de menos su experiencia competitiva. Autor: Internet Publicado: 21/09/2017 | 05:28 pm El sable viene bajito Pese a las anunciadas ausencias de sus estrellas «internacionales», el elenco nipón muestra una sólida escuadra de probada calidad Publicado: Domingo 09 diciembre 2012 | 02:18:14 am. Publicado por: Raiko Martín Al equipo de Japón le teme todo el mundo y ese miedo no es gratuito. Viene precedido por los inobjetables títulos conquistados en las únicas dos ediciones del Clásico Mundial de béisbol, y en la capacidad probada de armar un sólida escuadra, aunque no estén disponibles aquellos actualmente enrolados en las Grandes Ligas estadounidenses. Para algunos, las anunciadas ausencias de sus estrellas «internacionales» restan potencia al elenco nipón. Sin embargo, no son pocos los analistas que las asumen como una ventaja, teniendo en cuenta que estas figuras tienden a no seguir el ritmo de trabajo de sus compañeros. La mayoría de los expertos se inclinan a pensar que será el diestro Yu Darvish el que más se extrañe dentro de la nómina, aun cuando tampoco hayan aceptado la invitación notables lanzadores como Hiroki Kuroda y Hisashi Iwakuma. Si hay un área en la que sobre talento dentro, esa es la de los lanzadores. De el icónico Ichiro Suzuki se echará de menos la experiencia y su halo mediático, pero los entendidos señalan al menos cinco jardineros con la capacidad de batear, correr o defender con tanta o mayor calidad que él.

  • A's News Clips, Monday, November 22, 2010 Drumbeat
    A’s News Clips, Monday, November 22, 2010 Drumbeat: Iwakuma info from Japan; pursuit almost officially over From Chronicle Staff Writer Susan Slusser 11/22/2010 12:10AM Update: I've received more detailed information from Japan since posting this, so will note that where necessary. I just got a call from Japan at midnight California time, and a source with knowledge of the A's talks with Japanese pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma told me that it is more than likely that Iwakuma's Pacific League team, Rakuten, will announce his return to the Golden Eagles today. Talks with the A's? "Ended," the source said. "I think so. I don't even know why they bid on the posting." New information: I'm told that the posting fee was $18 million, a bit higher than the $16 million that had been estimated in the U.S. That info came from Japan, not from a major-league source. According to the source in Japan, the A's were offering $3.8 million per year, a figure that did not include the posting fee; that's right in line with the $3-5 million per year average the Chronicle reported on Sunday. The A's, the source said, wanted to use Texas pitcher Colby Lewis, who pitched in Japan before returning to become a top-notch starter with the Rangers, as a comparison; Lewis will make $3 million next season. Kei Igawa's five-year, $20 million deal with the Yankees was also mentioned. "They basically said take it or leave it," the Japanese source said of the A's.

  • TEXAS RANGERS CLIPS – June 16, 2014
    TEXAS RANGERS CLIPS – June 16, 2014 TEXASRANGERS.COM Martinez improves, but Texas can't solve Iwakuma Rookie allows two runs in six innings; Snyder's first HR is only offense By T.R. Sullivan / MLB.com | 6/15/2014 8:09 PM ET SEATTLE -- Mariners pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma had a big advantage in his Father's Day pitching duel against Rangers starter Nick Martinez. Iwakuma had Kyle Seager on his side. Seager has a tendency to turn into George Brett when he sees the Rangers' uniform in the opposing dugout, and that made the difference on Sunday afternoon at Safeco Field. Martinez, who had an 11.08 ERA in his last three starts, was much better on Sunday against Iwakuma. But Seager, on a 4-for-4 afternoon, put the Mariners ahead with a two-run double in the fifth and they went on to a 5-1 victory over the Rangers. The loss snapped the Rangers' three-game winning streak although they still took two of three from the Mariners to open their nine-game road trip. The Rangers' next stop is Oakland for a three-game series with the division-leading Athletics. Seager also had a double in the Mariners' three-run eighth inning against relievers Robbie Ross Jr. and Ben Rowen, who was making his Major League debut. "He doesn't miss much when we face him," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "The first couple of days I thought we did a good job against him, but today when we made a mistake he didn't miss it." In his last 42 games against the Rangers, Seager is hitting .392 with nine home runs, 31 RBIs, a .432 on-base percentage and a .667 slugging percentage.
