Tokuji Takahara took over the club in 2054... as a player he had a good career with a 163-140 record and a 4.08 ERA for 12 years... however, the Ninjas are stuck in a rut with only two winning seasons in the last decade... 7th-place finishes three times in a row and fifth place this year... '51 was the last winning season (88-66) good for the third spot in the TU South standings... Ginza is just a bad team... needs improvement almost everywhere except defense.
Team Stats: .248 BA (28th), 664 runs (21st), 149 HR (17th), 4.40 ERA (31st), .980 FA (very good)
Top Players: rookie starter Kurt Brophy stood out... the rest were mediocre at best... nothing much in the bullpen... all in all, a very poor staff... not much in the batting order, either, except for SS Kuzuki Tamura, an elite player, solid hitter and fine defender... RF Chris Pfeiffer helps out some with the bat... so does 1B Vic Carnaggio... Takahara needs all-around improvement to save his job next year... 2B Hideki Nakano had a pretty good rookie season.
