Tokyo Giants

Report Card
It can be said easily and openly that this Tokyo team is an experiment,
a test. The question is simple: how do the best of the Japanese
baseball history stack up against the best of American baseball
history? The jury is still out but the season is far enough along for
an interim report card of sorts. The straight up and down is basic:
wins and losses. At the time of this writing the tally is 23 W's and 23
L's, a .500 mark and 2 games behind the division leader. Perhaps more
important is the fact that Tokyo is #1 in the Wild Card race, as no
other second place club in the Union League has a .500 record! So if
things progress as they have, Tokyo has a good shot at squeaking into
the playoffs -- and that would be a successful season no matter what
else transpired. But let's look at the rest of the picture.
Pitching.
The experts expected that pitching would be this team's strong suit.
While a couple of the greatest all-time Japanese pitchers are missing
from this roster, there is no doubt that the staff reads like a roll
call of the Japanese Hall of Fame. All Time Wins Leader, lefthander
Masaichi Kaneda (4-2, 4.23, 3CG, 2 SHU) had a rough start but settled
in very quickly and has shown he still has the knack at accumulating
victories.
Iron Man Jiro Noguchi (4-3, 2.52, 4CG, 1 SHU) has not been as
dominating as some thought he would be, but Noguchi has not disapointed
either. He won't get the opportunity to overwhelm these batters as he
did his countrymen in his day, but he has pitched well enough to stand
proud.
Hawaiian-American Bozo Wakabayashi (4-3, 2.38, 2 CG, 1 SHU) never got
the chance to play in the American Majors because he, like Cool Papa
Bell, was born too early. At a later date Lenn Sakata would play for
Milwaukee, Baltimore, Oakland & the Yankees without anyone even
commenting that he was a Hawaiian-born Japanese-American like
Wakabayashi. In this All Time League Wakabayashi is making up for
lost time, and not only pitching good games but at this juncture has a
.500 batting average (8-16) with a home run, a double and 8 RBI. He is
clearly not intimidated by his opponents.
Bonus Baby Suguru Egawa (1-3, 4.12, 1 CG) is having a bit of trouble
with opposing batters, and is not finding the way out of the big
inning. The word is that he will find himself doing setup work until,
and if, he can master this league's hitters. As well, forkballer
Shigeru Sugishita (0-3, 5.56, 1CG) has been completely off the mark,
almost as bad as The White Russian, Victor Starffin ( 2-2, 6.40).
Starffin has found himself down in the Minors in favour of power
pitcher Tadashi Sugiura (3-1, 1.98).
The relief corps is a bit unsettled, with a new decision forthcoming
between Mr. Zero, Shingo Takatsu (2-1, 1.17, 1 Sv) and Strikeout Artist
Yutaka Enatsu (2-3, 5.40, 6 Sv, 3 Hld). Enatsu was given the chance to the
team's closer, and intially did very well. But lately he has had
control problems and has seen his ERA balloon up. Therefore, Mr. Zero
will now be given a shot at closer. The rest of the staff has performed
relatively well, and of special note is Yoshitaki Katori (0-0, 1.57, 1
Hld) who will also be given a larger role in the next phase.
Fielding
is another area this team was expected to do well in, and like their
pitching, has been good enough to win some accolades. Overall they are
fourth in the Union League with a team .979 fielding percentage. They
are also fifth in double plays turned, and third in Opponent SB% with
a .585 mark. Individually, Mr. Shortstop,
Yoshio Yoshido (.988) leads all fielders in the most essential of
positions, though his hitting (.124), or rather his lack of hitting,
has lost him a lineup spot at the moment. In all the other positions
Tokyo is well
represented, and where the players have enough chances they appear in
the Top Ten Lists for fielding. Their opponents have been taking
advantage of the average arm strength in the outfield to take the
occasional extra base that sometimes proves disrupting, but on the
batted ball the defense has performed admirably. At catcher, as alluded
to above in Opponent SB%, Tokyo has done exceedingly well so far.
Katsuya Nomura has a 1.000 Fielding Pct. in 31 games, Atsuya Furuta is
perfect in 19 games, and Tsutomo Ito is perfect in 4 games. Perfect is
relative here though, as combined they have no errors but they do own a
league-most (tied) 7 passed balls.
Now
we get to the hitting. This is what puts fannies in the seats, or so
they would have us believe. I, for one, think that baseball is great
because it is an all-around game that encompasses many strategies of
offense and defense. But enough of that, here we talk of Tokyo's
hitting prowess, or lack of it. We must mention that the greatest
batter in Japanese baseball history got away from this team during the
draft -- Sadaharu Oh plays for Toronto, along with Iron Man Sachio Kinugasa and others. Even still, the Tokyo team boasts the legendary God of Batting
playing first base in Tetsuharu Kawakami. The fiercely nationalistic
Kawakami started off the season to raucous booing from the stands as he
battled with the
Mendoza Line. However, he has shown the tenacity necessary to stick
with it, and has slowly crept up almost into the realm of
respectibility (.255). The team is counting on him to keep raising that
batting average, and doing so in clutch situations. Currently he leads
the team in RBI with 25, but that total is rather low compared to other
teams as we see the overall ATL leader is Willie Mays of the Newark
Eagles with 52 ribbies. Standing just a notch below Kawakami on the
team RBI lists is
Wally Yonamine with 22. Wally is batting a respectable .286, and has
been flirting with .300 at times. He is actually the team leader in
batting average at this juncture, as the three players ahead of him
(Kawai, Ito & Wakabayashi) have very few plate appearances. Right
with Wally is Shigeru Chiba, The Formidable Buffalo,
at .284. Chiba started the season on the Disabled List, but has taken
over the second base job now that he's back. His current partner in the
middle of the field is Chusuke Kizuka, and at .282 Kizuka will keep the
job at short if he continues to hit like that. Home run power has been
provided by Kaoro Betto (.241), the rightfielder. Betto leads the team
with 7 home runs -- the overall ATL Leader is at this point in time is
Joe DiMaggio of the Pacific Division rival San Francisco Seals with 18
dingers. Katsuya Nomura (.271) and Shigeo Nagashima (.194) are
second on Tokyo with 5 homers apiece. Nagashima, Mr. Baseball, has been a very big disappointment so far. Fans hope he can turn it around like Kawakami did.
And
so we come to the part where we evaluate this team of Japanese Hall of
Famers. Yes, it is too early for a definitive statement, but enough
games have been played where we can take a good guess at their impact
on this All Time League. No doubt they have added some exotic
character, and for those of us who like the history of the game, they
provide new stories and legends to get acquainted with. The question of
conversion, of how they are playing against their Major League and
Negro League counterparts is a tough one to answer. As in every
baseball issue there are partisans of all sides of the question. But we
can say without a doubt that they seem to be competing at a level that
most can live with -- the stats they are putting up are not
extraordinary in either direction. There are certainly some surprises,
but in both directions. They are solid in their fundamentals, which
surprises nobody, and they have displayed some expertise in the
pitching department, which again surprises none but is a bit more
controversial. Their lack of power hitting, and indeed, their lack of
hitting for average is again not a surprise, expecially when the two
premier hitters, Sadaharu Oh & Ichiro Suzuki, are not on the team.
Whether all of this means anything yet is a valid question. And whether
anyone cares except their fans . . . well, that can be said of any
team. Even the Saint Louis Browns had their loyal fans, no matter how
bad things got for them. So here, the fans of the Tokyo Giants will
live and die with every win and every loss. And through it all they
will have lots of fun, and that's what it is all about.
