Norichika Aoki (update: Brewers get Aoki)

I like Aoki to the O's for threee reasons:

1-I have said in the past if you have a Japanese player, it better to have TWO. If you watch MLB or ESPN they both say that adjusting to MLB style baseball and ""American culture"" are the two biggest factors. Having two Japanese players on the same team, they would help each other. Also I would try and establish them close to Koji's home.

2-Fits DD need as a left handed (some report s/h-even better) who can back up cf and lf.

3-If today, could start as DH and back up all 3 of positions. Buck has stated he would perfer not to have a full time d/h.

And for only $2.5 million. This is depressing.

I agree, but it is relative too. The $2.5M posting fee would probably buy a couple good international prospects. I would have bid on him, but this may just mean that we think Reimold is the answer in LF. I am holding out hope that this means that the Orioles are more interested in Cespedes.
