Question

Has Ichiro changed your impression about Japanese (Asian) players' ability to play baseball?

Answer 1

I can say this, with more and more talented Asian players coming to the MLB the gap between the eastern and western portions of the world are getting narrower. Ichiro is an undeniable talent. I think besides Dice K, Hideki Matsui is a force to be reckoned with as well.

My impression of Asian players is definitely a good one.

Answer 2

not at all

Answer 3

Not really.

Answer 4

Baseball may be the American past time but it's not the only country that loves it so no, it doesn't change my mind about things. There's a couple Latin American countries that love it too but can't pay their players as much. The ones who "make it" join the American teams. The Americans who can't make it join Japanese teams.

Answer 5

A lot of fans know how good japanese players are. Dice K and Ichiro are just some examples of great j*p. players.

Answer 6

no. they always been good maybe not the same talent or Ballpark than MLB.

Answer 7

Suzuki is clearly the exception, not the rule.

If all Japanese players had his ability they'd account for 90% of MLB rosters.

Answer 8

HE IS A GREAT PLAYER

And NO I always thought

They were Great

ALways WILL
