An 18 year old left handed pitcher from Japan who may sign with a MLB team.
Apparently, the Giants have scouted him heavily, but I doubt my San Francisco Giants will sign the kid.
The Giants were the first major league team to sign a Japanese player back in the sixties(Masanori Murakami) and have done virtually nothing in signing Japanese players since Hideo Nomo signed with the Dodgers in 1995...
I don't count the offensively challenged Tsuyoshi Shinjo... And relief pitcher Kenichi Yabu...
Kikuchi's fastball has been clocked as high as 96 mph.
I have no hope in this situation...
