SAPPORO — Whether he pitches or just walk onto the field, Yu Darvish still draws the biggest attention among the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters.

According to MLB Trade Rumors , the Yankees launched a threesome of randy voyeurs Japanward to leer at Yu Darvish , the barely-legal, bangalicious ace of the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters. The big mystery: were our sexed-up scouts ordered to picture Yu in pinstripes? Or out of them, somewhere deep inside the Steinbrenner family's raunchy internet smut site ? Read Full Story

Last week I posted a report from the NY Daily News about Gene Michael going over to Japan on a scouting mission. Today the NY Post has some more details. From George A. King III : Even though previous reports on Japanese right-hander Yu Darvish weren't glowing, the Yankees are taking a second look at the 21-year-old. Billy Eppler , the Yankees' head of professional scouting, and scout Gene Michael are in Japan, to see Darvish, who pitches for the Nippon Ham Fighters.
