Darvish Article

Check out this article in today's New York Times about 22-year-old Japanese pitcher, Yu Darvish.

Former Mets pitcher, Masato Yoshii, -- who is familiar with both Darvish and Daisuke Matsuzaka -- says that Darvish is "more talented" than Matsuzaka and "he has exceptional control of every pitch known to man except a knuckleball." Wow.

Darvish isn't a free agent until 2014, so there would be a posting fee involved if he wants to pitch in the United States before that. Maybe the Red Sox should start saving up?

There are videos of Darvish over at Darvis Watch and we will get a chance to see him pitch for Japan in the World Baseball Classic in March.
