I hope the Mets don't waste their time with someone who has the talent level of a high minor leaguer. Japanese professional players are vastly overrated.

His fastball is pretty weak and he's no magician with that fringe fastball. I must say however that he has a very nice breaking pitch. I’m just not a big fan of Kuroda, his stuff is just very, BLAH.

I guess it doesn't hurt to inquire, but expecting him to sign a contract that cheap is probably a pipedream. Because if you listen to any other source, he’s in range to get 8-10 annually, not 3.

Most likely, the Yanks offer arbitration, so at worst, he will get a one year deal. I don’t think A Rod has to worry about groveling.

I say no. Eat Mota's contract and sign this guy. Or Riske or Mahay. Any of them will be money better spent than overpaying for A-fraud who by the way is on his knees right now groveling to the brothers Steinbrenner and begging to come back "home" to the Bronx.
