In case you haven't heard of Tsuyoshi Nishioka, he's a 26-year-old switch-hitting middle infielder. According to
MLBTradeRumors, he will be posted this week.
"Nishioka batted .346 with 22 steals and more hits (206) than any Pacific Leaguer since Ichiro Suzuki. ESPN analyst Bobby Valentine, who managed Nishioka in Japan, says he thinks the infielder has the tools to be 'an outstanding shortstop,' but suggests most organizations will consider him a second baseman."
Nishioka might be great for the Giants, who are currently in need of a shortstop and don't have too much speed in their lineup.
