I believe that there is some teams out their would draft him to just spite him and some to help them. Also, I concerned that if a team drafts him and the establishment bashes him enough he'll decide to stay out of coercion. Though if he stays that's his predicament, but I feel it would be out of coercion. Finally, I agree its the best he wasn't drafted so we didnt have to go through a long nasty process. Keep the good work, I really do love the blog despite my persistence on Tazawa.

Since most teams drafted fewer than the maximum of 10 players, choosing Tazawa wouldn't have been a wasted pick in that it prevented the team from drafting another player. I think it would have been worth considering, because you never know what's going to happen. It's probably better that he wasn't drafted though, as now everyone can move on.

All it would been is childish and not in the team or the player's interest, as Tazawa has already made his intentions clear he doesn't want to play in NPB at this moment and it be a wasted pick that could be used to further improve that team, isn't that the whole idea of the draft? Yeah, I was a little sad nobody picked Tazawa just to spite him.

I have no internet at home and pretty much won't until I go back to America so I have had trouble keeping up with news and blogs. Good to find out more about them (I'll correct the spellings and add the details when I have a chance, hopefully). Yeah, I was a little sad nobody picked Tazawa just to spite him. If Chiba could pick Chono despite his "kyojin shika nai" attitude, why not? (BTW... I wonder if Bobby will try to work some of his Bobby Magic like he did with Ohmine-kun a few years back.) hey, thanks.
