Whitesoxfan56 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 (edited) Ishii's Japanese Stats Now I read that he was a FA, and what do you guys think the chances of the White Sox signing him in place of Marte. He has a 95MPH fastball, and maybe he would come here since we have a short history of signing Japanese ball players (Iguchi and Shingo). Is KW looking at this guy? Who else would be interested? What our your thoughts about this?

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Well the fact that we gave Shingo the boot may hurt our chances... Still i'd give it a go if the price wasn't too high... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesoxfan56 Posted November 12, 2005 Author Share Posted November 12, 2005 yes, we gave shingo the boot, but we also gave him the chance to play MLB ball, so that has to count for something right??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgeport Sox Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 anythings worth a shot to replace Marte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 His numbers indicate he would be very good his first year 2.00 era something and then regress kind of like Otsuka, which I would definately take from a lefty. I say go for him, but since he would have to be posted, he would cost a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxpranos Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Nice find, actually intersted to see his motion. Still allot younger than Takatsu when we got him. I say go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesoxfan56 Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 No he isnt, I read an article somewere that said he wasnt, as soon as i find it i will post it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesoxfan56 Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 I found it here: Ishii Article According to Japanese insiders, Ishii -- no relation to Mets pitcher Kaz Ishii -- has the ability and mentality to make an impact in relief. He closed effectively in 2005 with 37 saves and a 1.95 ERA with 91 strikeouts in 73 2/3 innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Sox Josh Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 This guy could replace Marte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 We should ask KW first, if he wants to sign the Japanese phenom. Marte might still be the lefty reliever, if he regains his confidence and isn't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
