Paul Sullivan has a report on the Cubs looking at two Japanese relievers:
The pitcher they're most interested in is Ken Kadokura, a 35-year-old right-hander, and they also had a tryout for 34-year-old left-hander Shigeki Noguchi. The Yomiuri Giants released both veterans after the 2008 season.
Noguchi looks to have been a starter until a few years ago, and appears to have a history of injuries. Kadokura hasn't pitched in a couple of years (??).
I'm not sure what the point of bringing past-their-prime injured guys over to a tougher league in a new country. But, OK, at least we have something "new" to talk about.
