Yu Darvish and Tsuyoshi Wada have been spoken for, but there are still two high-profile NPB pitchers looking to make the jump to the majors next season.
With the majority of the baseball world caught up in the hoopla surrounding Darvish's posting, and the record $51.7 million fee the Texas Rangers doled out for his rights, there hasn't been too much attention paid to Hisashi Iwakuma and Chen Wei-yin this winter.
Both probably expected to be in MLB last season, but had to stay in Japan a little longer. Now the duo, who also both dealt with injuries in 2011, are ready to make the jump for real this time.
