The Shizuoka Volley - August 1, 2045
Arrows updates, quick and on target!
* That's odd - the only deadline deal in *** DIDN'T involve the Arrows. The Eagles snapped up the Marines' catcher Steve Rogers in exchange for two minor leaguers.
* Then again, Shizuoka went 11-6 in the month to gain ground in the PL chase. Now Rakuten sits 2nd and four games back of the Arrows, with Seibu half a game back of them in 3rd.
* Shojiro Murakami heads to the IL, giving Kumeo Matsumoto a shot backing up Eisaku Aihara
* Arrows manager Paul Paez has indicated a desire to platoon his players more against left-handed pitchers, with Keiji Ono starting over Yoshikuni Yokota and Yoshiaga Umeda getting the shortstop spot over Yukio Kanno
