Rays Might Go to Japan, Again

Your next Rays closer?
Per Rotoworld via Japan Baseball Daily, according to his name he's not a fan of Shinji Mori -- yes I had to make that lame joke -- he'd also give the Rays two players going by the nickname "Kaz".

Is he better than Glover and Stokes though?

I'm sure he'd be better than Stokes

Not sure if he's better than them
A MiLD candidate would be Matt Mantei...Tampa native; couldn't hurt.

Okajima

I don't really agree with that
Let's compare Okajima and Fukumori:
Okajima's a lefty; Fukumori's not.
Okajima struck out more than 1 per inning, not so much for Fukumori.
Both around the same age, but Okajima didn't have existing injury concerns.
I think you have a point about the top Japanese relievers, but I can't see this guy getting close to an American value deal.

Head drop
Any youtube on him? If what you are saying is true, then an invite, ok, I would, but nothing guaranteed w/injury concerns.
Does he have any gimmicks like a head drop or a slow delivery?

I wonder how Shinji would have done
