Hiroyuki Nakajima To Be Posted

The Seibu Lions of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball League will post
shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports
(Twitter links). Legacy Sports will represent Nakajima in the U.S., according
to Rosenthal.
In the summer of 2010, Patrick Newman of FanGraphs called Nakajima Japan's
second-best hitter behind Norichika Aoki (who will also be posted). Nakajima
asked to be posted last offseason, but the team denied his request. The
29-year-old shortstop hit .297/.354/.433 with 16 home runs and 27 doubles in
633 plate appearances for the Lions in 2011.
Jose Reyes and Jimmy Rollins headline a top-heavy trade and free agent market
for shortstops. Many teams figure to bid for the rights for Nakajima if
they're priced out of the market for Reyes and Rollins and intrigued by a
possible alternative to the second-tier options.
日本第二好的打者(青木第一)，29歲 .297/.354/.433 16 HR 27 Doubles 633PA
買不起Reyes和Rollins的球隊不錯的替代方案。
Tsuyoshi Nishioka 2010 (25) .346/.423/.482/.905 596 PA 11HR 32 Double 22 SB
老了4歲OPS又少了100多點的... 能拿多少呢?
