Finally Darvish signs for Rangers
I don't use to write about Fighters though I'm up-to-date on their news, because this is a blog where I use to write mostly about Consadole, but I think that Darvish's signing for Rangers is important enough to write something.
So, it has been some weeks since Texas Rangers won the rights to negotiatiate with him and finally they've reached a deal.
It's a really bad news for Fighters because he'll leave a really big hole in the starting rotation. Darvish meant victory haha But well, I think we all totally understand his decision.
The Texas Rangers are one of the strongest teams in USA so it's great chance and challenge for him. The Rangers has a good batting so I hope Darvish be able to get a lot of victories there.
The "good" news is that Fighters will earn a lot of money.I'm looking forward to see how they spend them.
I wish him the best there. I'm sure they aren't going to regret to spend such a big amount of money. He's an awesome pitcher and I'm sure he's going to succeed at MLB.
So.. thank you so much Darvish! And good luck!

Kick Off 2012
Yesterday the traditional Kick off event was held at Sapporo Dome.
As every year, the fans could see for first time the new signings, the new uniforms,etc.
I read that Mikami hasn't decided yet about the new foreigners then at the moment this is the roster and the numbers:
GK
1 Takahiro TAKAGI
16 LEE HO SEUNG
21 Toshiyasu TAKAHARA
28 Yuya HIKICHI
30 Tetsu SUGIYAMA (New)

6 Shunsuke IWANUMA

22 Yosuke MIKAMI
23 Hideo OSHIMA (New)
24 Junki YOKONO
26 Shinya UEHARA
32 YUSUKE Kondo
33 Shota SAKAKI (New)
As for the new uniforms.. The away uniform is the new template of Kappa but I don't like it too much..
But well is also true that they had a difficult challenge trying to create something better than the away uniform of the last 2 seasons because for me it has been the best away uniform in Consadole's history.
The first uniform is cool but is more of the same. The template they've used is the same that the away uniform of the last 2 years but they've added the round collar and the draw of the snow over the stripes.
The preseason is gonna be as in the last seasons.
From today the team will train at Sapporo Dome until Friday.
Then they'll fly to Guam on the 25th where they will stay until February 9th.
Later they will come back to Japan on February 12 where they will stay in Kumamoto.
The time they'll be in Kumamoto depends on the fallen snow conditions in Sapporo.
So, now let's see what Mikami decides about the foreigners. Seemed Quirino was going to come back, but know nobody knows what's gonna happen with him finally.
In my opinion, at least one brazilian would be good.
Hope the team makes a good preseason. We'll need it cuz it's gonna be a hard season!
Can't wait! VAMOS!!!
