How about Kensuke Tanaka?

[ace3113]

Would you guys consider trading with the Giants for Japanese second baseman Kensuke Tanaka. He was a pretty good player in Japan and San Fran doesn't really have a need for him with Scutaro signed for a while. He's 32 and probably wouldn't cost much in a trade. Plus imagine him and Muni on the same team. lol

 

Here are his stats from this year and scouting report on him:

 

Kensuke Tanaka / 2B, SF

Born 5/20/1981 (32 yrs old)

Fukuoka, Japan

Height 5-9

Weight 170

Bats/Throws L/R

 

(AAA- PCL) .326/.390/.391 24rbi 11(2b) 3(3b) 29bb 25so 20sb 7cs

 

An offensive-minded infielder from Japan's Pacific League, Kensuke Tanaka slashed .300/.350/.363 with in 505 plate appearances last season for the Nippon-Ham Fighters. Widely known as a solid glove man, he also showed plus speed and basestealing ability early in his career, though that has faded as he's matured.

I guess it all depends on what the scouts think of him (PCL stats), how much

it'll cost to acquire him and gotta start making roster moves with izzy, boni and kawa.

We don't have any room and why bother with adding another question mark at 2B? If you'd bring someone that suppose to be your answer for the next few years i understand, but bringing him is no different than Derosa, Kawasaki, Izturis or Boni.
