Rangers get rights to Darvish

yeah that nosterbor post was brutal to watch, but so was braden calling Uehara "dominant" :shock: :arrow: ::facepalm::

What about Uehara the past two years hasn't been dominant for you?

The 14 walks and 140 strikeouts? If you are doing math thats 1 walk for every 10 K's.

The 0.95 WHIP in 2010 or maybe the 0.72 WHIP last year wasn't dominant.

How about ERA's under 3 both years?

How about K/9 of over 11 both years?

Nah, Uehara wasn't dominant at all ::facepalm::

[quote="Wes":1coevrwc]Hideki Matsui? Kaz Sasaki? Hiroki Kuroda? Hideo Nomo? Ichiro? Uehara? Okajima? Shingo Takatsu? Aki Iwamura?

Ichiro is the only player in that group that has not sucked long term. what the hell games have you been watching?

And how is it that an outfielder from the Cubs could not do squat goes to Japan and breaks the hit record? The pitching in Japan SUCKS!
P.S
This could come back and bite the Rangers in the ass big time.

Are you nuts?

Hideki Matsui- 120 OPS+ in 9 years
Hiroki Kuroda- 114 ERA+ for his career
Hideo Nomo- 6 above average seasons. 20+ WAR for his career
Koji Uehara- dominant reliever for past two years

I'm not debating the success rate of Japanese League imports simply pointing out that your assertion that only Ichiro hasn't "sucked" long terms is idiotic.

"Hideki Matsui- 120 OPS+ in 9 years
Hiroki Kuroda- 114 ERA+ for his career "

I would say those numbers suck ass
a 114 era

Are you kidding me? Check out his numbers. They're nuts. He has like a 10:1 k:BB rate.
