isn't it weird that the 2 best teams of the central league have no golden glove?
RépondreSupprimerChunichi's main strength is their pitchers. Too bad for them, Maeda was here^^. They have two great fielders: Ibata and Araki. Ibata was injuried so he didn't play during most of the season and Araki has to become short stop to replace him, but he isn't as good as SS than as 2B.
