楽天 田中 早くもダラスで注目。

田中投手。来季終了後ポスティングを使いメジャーに渡る可能性があるわけですが、ダラス紙でははやくも注目しています。やはりこれはダルビッシュの活躍が大きいですね。彼の活躍でテキサスファンとしては少々のリスク（ポスティングフィー）をとっても日本人投手をとる　といった戦略が有効であるという雰囲気があるようです。投書をみてもYuのような投手をとれるならばと。

このいい雰囲気をどんどん続けてほしいですね。日本人ファンとしては。


Texas Rangers scout Joe Furukawa, who helped ease the way for right-hander Yu Darvish in his major-league debut last season, is headed back to his previous posting as a Pacific Rim scout.  He likely will get an eyeful of right-hander Masahiro Tanaka of the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles of the Japan Pacific League.
Tanaka, 24, could heads to the major leagues after this season by entering the posting process. If that happens, there will be a strong demand for Tanaka, who is two years and three months younger than Darvish.
In the last two seasons, Tanaka is 29-9 with a 1.53 ERA and 410 strikeouts with only 46 walks in 399 1/3 innings. His out pitch is the slider. The Rangers, doing their due diligence, have already taken in some Tanaka starts.
