I'd love to see the Braves replace Lowe with him.

Another Japanese pitcher to be overpaid then burn out in two years.

See a trend? If not, I'll just go ahead and say it: Overhyped.

I always wondered why he had a non-Japanese last name.
Maybe it's common knowledge amongst prospectors, but I didn't know.
So I just looked on Wikipedia and found out he's half-Iranian.
"Darvish was born in Habikino, Osaka, to an Iranian father, Farsad Darvishsefat, and a Japanese mother, Ikuyo. His parents met at Eckerd College, a liberal arts school in St. Petersburg, Florida, where his father played for the college soccer team."

I said a couple years ago I wanted the M's to sign him as Ichiro's contract was running out, basically as Ichiro's replacement as the M's Japanese superstar, but I don't see that happening with the our crappy offense and stable of talented young pitchers at or near the big league level. I wouldn't be against it, though. Kinda rootin' for the Jays to land him, among the teams that have been mentioned.

I believe that Darvish is a good bit younger than lots of the other Japanese pitchers when they started.

Wish I had the opportunity to watch him on tv all the time, hopefully I will if the yankees get him!
Hope he doesnt turn out like Dice-K :lol:
I am 99% sure I wont collect Yu Darvish though, his stuff is/will be to expensive!
I hope Dice-K turns it around though, not for my collection, but because I want him to do well, I hate to see a player go from 18-3 to what hes been doing in the past two years (.500 or worse & getting hurt

Same age as Daisuke when he started professionally in Japan. If Darvish comes over next year, he will be 25, Matsuzaka was 26 at his MLB debut.TomMurry said:

Maybe Ken Rosenthal can upstage this world series by announcing during the final outs that the Yankees have signed Yu Darvish,
AND that ARod has opted out of his contract . :|

I wouldn't be surprised if they Jays signed him.
It's not like AA hasn't used his Jedi mind control before.
