He puts Botts in the seats

This is slightly off topic, but perhaps still interesting in a ham fighting sort of way. Former Texas Ranger and current Japanese Leaguer Jason Botts evidently has quite a following in the land of the rising sun, as evidenced by this YouTube video.
Not your everyday Shinjo Sixpack
Botts was your typical AAAA player whom I think everyone knew would thrive over in Japan. Whether he's a Cecil and makes it back to MLB or he's Tuffy Rhodes and carves out a career in Japan, I think it's cool that they've embraced him. J.R. Phillips, this could have been you.

You are incorrect
I believe it’s actually Yu Darvish

Nah. Looks like it’s Yu Darvish.

I would love to go and see a ballgame in Japan. I’ve heard its experience in itself. It’s on my list of things to do but who knows when that will happen.
I think it’s Yu Darvish at 0:30.

He’d be much cooler with “Whirling” as his nickname.
It would give his strikeouts some added oomph.

Whoah.
Did you guys see Yu Darvish about 30 seconds in? Talk about flashbacks.

Who Yu Darvish?
Just say NO to free agents, they take your draft picks.
