Nakajima oakland press conference Videos

6.5 million is perfect! Some shortstops are way more expensive! If he hits .240/.250, i don't really care because the A's won last year with a low team batting average. Clutch hitting and solid defense will do the job well. Excellent pick up by Beane.

Do you also believe that he's worried about not enough bathtubs in America? He's been to the States, he's not worried about bathtubs, he's going to miss Japanese style tubs which are significantly different and better, in my opinion. Changing his words gives people a very different sense of his character. It wouldn't be a very Japanese thing to do to correct him publicly, so he smiles. Like I said before, it worked to Nakajima's advantage, but it was a poor translation of what he said.

How about the part about ofuro? Translator makes him sound like he doesn't realize that America has bathtubs. His English is good enough that he most likely understood what the translator said, but he has a good personality and wouldn't say something. He is very playful, but he isn't an idiot...which the translator sort of made him out to be.

Go Sox! 45 saves this year for Bailey
