The Hanshin Tigers should trade pitcher Shintaro Fujinami.
Yes, that Shintaro Fujinami. The fire-balling right-hander who dominated at Koshien Stadium during Osaka Toin's run to the Summer Koshien title in 2012. The tall, lean rising star who for the next three years, while playing his home games at the same venue as a pro for the Hanshin Tigers, looked ready to take his place beside Shohei Ohtani and Tomoyuki Sugano as one of NPB's next great pitching stars.
Now, he looks like a pitcher in danger of flaming out. His promise has given way to poor results, a lack of control and inexplicable wildness on the mound.
