Broph has finally convinced me to allow Ichiro "Wizard" Suzuki to come stateside to play ball!
The Orix Blue Wave have told me what an acceptable fee would be for their wunderkind, 23 year old centerfielder. Unfortunately, they are not allowing me to divulge that information to the rest of the league as they want to see how much respect Americans have for Japanese baseball players. They have however allowed me to PM it to the username 'freeagents' along with Ichiro's contract demands. If either the posting fee or the contract demands do not align with what the Orix Blue Wave have told me, then you will be removed from the bidding process.
The posting fee will come from your available cash in the game and the contract money will come from your available cash to sign free agents in the game. So make sure you have enough going forward.
The Orix Blue Wave are also very stringent on allowing US scouts into their practice facilities to put Ichiro through drills and batting practice. Luckily for all of you, I was able to secure some old scouting reports from when he was in high school. I've heard not much has changed on him, but unfortunately, we can't pinpoint how good he actually may be. This is what I have on him...
Ratings: G/G/G/P/P/G
Speed: B Stealing ability: ??
Sac bunt: B Bunt for hit: B
LF defense: ??
CF defense: A
RF defense: ??
Arm: ??
Loyalty:??
Needs winning team: Sometimes
Leader ability: Some ability
Clutch performance: ??
Consistency: ??
Contract demands: No idea on money, but he says he wants somewhere in the neighborhood of 5-7 years to begin with.
Tiebreakers to sign him if posting fee and contracts are the same:
1. ??
2. Market size
3. Playing time
Special stipulations: Ichiro cannot be traded, released, or demoted to AAA (barring special circumstances) for the first two seasons of his contract. You cannot use TIA's on him. Only 3 IRI's can be used on him.
The Orix Blue Wave would love to have Ichiro stay for one more year if nobody reaches their demands. Please bid appropriate to your situation.
