Tsugitarou Isoruko, 1B
27 years old
Tsugitarou Isoruko will contribute a lot to the team. He's got a great stroke, some nice pop in his bat and is a lot of fun and well-liked in the clubhouse. Tsugitarou has decent batting skills, and will get his share of base hits.
Tsugitarou has explosive power. Look for him to go deep often. He has a pretty good eye at the plate. He will draw his share of free passes, but won't hesitate to go after his pitch. Tsugitarou won't fan too much, but still occasionally goes after bad pitches. Lefties seem to give him more trouble than righties. He has average speed at best, but has excellent timing, and can steal a few bases. Tsugitarou is an average first baseman defensively. He has decent range and will make most routine plays, but certainly will not dazzle you with his glove.

Suejirou Juro, 2B
34 years old
Suejirou Juro is a real gamer. He will do everything asked of him, and more, for his team and his manager. Suejirou has above average hand-eye coordination. He makes frequent contact. He's one of the game's premiere sluggers, no doubt. His home run trot is a sight opposing pitchers will see often. He often swings at bad pitches and struggles to go deep in the count. He needs to improve his plate awareness to get the most out of his abilities. Suejirou does a decent job protecting the plate, and will make contact when you need him to. Not fast at all, but given the right game situation and matchup, will swipe a base when no one's paying attention to him. Suejirou is an average second baseman defensively. He has decent range and will make most routine plays, but certainly will not dazzle you with his glove.

While he is not a real threat to steal, he runs the bases smart and won't clog up the basepaths. Takusaburou is a very good shortstop defensively. He seems to know where the ball is going before it leaves the bat, makes fantastic reads and takes good routes to the ball.

pretty good pop in his bat, and will post solid HR figures each season. He often swings at bad pitches and struggles to go deep in the count. He needs to improve his plate awareness to get the most out of his abilities. Ryuujirou

Thoughts
Gonnohyoe is probably the best shorstop in the league, he is probably going to end up hitting in the #3 spot. Hopefully he can get a chance to drive in a lot of runs. Juro is very good as well, the fact that he only had 16 HRs last year is surprising, he has big HR ability.
