Japan Premier12 Roster Reaction!

As a Giants fan, kind of insane that we allowed Togo - ate a bunch of innings with short rest again this year, Taisei - injured most of last year and spent more than a month on the sidelines this year as well, Yoshikawa - played every game and had a bit of injury concern towards the end, all while we are hopefully playing deep into the playoffs. Especially while some of the pacific league players such as Miyagi and Sasaki weren't selected for fatigue issues.

I wonder if its Chikamoto's own choice to sit out for most of these tournaments because it is pretty odd considering how generally well regarded he is. Married man with two young kids, likes to be close to home, plus he's got his side business/charity thing now.

[@DaftRaincloud]

Not a single Swallows player. :(

[@JMarenco78]

I think you were a tad harsh on Sano Keita. Sure! He's a liability in defense but he's been pretty solid with the bat for a number of years and has a low strike rate as you already mentioned. I certainly don't hate his selection.

[@julianmayaherrera224]

Munetaka Murakami ???????????? Roki Sasaki???????

[@ciello___8307]

The outfield is kinda weird. Im puzzled by the Sano pick too (although he can hit i guess???)

[@jykim3604]

It seems that Roki Sasaki can't do anything right in the eyes of the public this year? I assume the decision was made based on mutual discussions between Lotte and Samurai Japan, but there are many people who are once again accusing him of being weak and/or selfish. It must have been hard for him to play throughout the season when faced against such constant barrage of unwarranted criticism.

[@naokichen8525]

It’s decent… all-star level, however no superstar… kinda worried

小園を宜しくお願いします😊

Majority of npb fans seems to be pesimisitc abt there players getting called up, and prolly same for the npb teams the rosters kinda mid compared to the last premier12.

[@Grrrrrgfifj]

personally i dont blame them cuz they had 2 international tournaments last year, but man no mori makes me sad
