A surprising number of those sites are active. I know what you mean about Saito, but I think some of his stuff is actually really good.

I keep a page with a list of NPB player blog links but haven't updated it since mid-2007 since I don't really have time to read many of them anymore (I probly check Takuro Ishii's most often since he writes daily. I miss Kazuo Fukumori's since it was some of the funniest stuff ever). I used to translate Kazumi Saitoh's blog on a semi-regular basis earlier last year, but this year I'm actually kind of put off by his "having a great time in Arizona, wish you were here... err... wish I was there?" stuff.

I guess it was reported in the Japanese media/blogosphere, but I haven't found any source other than Technorati. I guess they measure content produced rather than individual bloggers -- I think another interesting metric would be consumers/readers, but I haven't looked into that.

But then, I guess if you count the moblogs, then Japan jumps way ahead with all those twitter-like keitai "blog" entries. Still, fascinating. And I also expected the totally wired Korean to be up there, but I guess their population is just too small.
