International Updates: Hinske, Kikuchi
October 24, 2009, 3:10 pm by iYankees · 2 Comments
Here are two quick international items to kill time before the game.
- Apparently, the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks, a Japanese team (Pacific League), are interested in signing Eric Hinske this offseason. They like Hinske for his left-handed power against righties (enjoy New York while you still can, Eric) and reportedly tried to sign him a year go.
- In addition, NPB Tracker notes that Yusei Kikuchi, the young lefty who is torn as to whether or not he should pursue a career in Japan or the MLB, has scheduled a press conference for tomorrow. The conference will likely serve as the forum for his decision, which, to this point, is still unclear.
Hinske is a lefty, not righty and does not hit lefties well

Ugh. Sorry about that, Scott. Flipped the splits accidentally. Been a long day.
