He knows how to pitch, and has the stuff to stop Japanese hitters, but his raw stuff is not as powerful as Matsuzaka's nor does he have as long a track record of success.

Is "Shigeru Chiba" Japanese for "Dustin Pedroia"??? “Shigeru Chiba – Chiba is the greatest second baseman in Japanese Baseball history, renowned for his outstanding plate discipline, his blazing speed on the basepaths, and his slick fielding at second, earning him the nickname “Formidable Buffalo” which was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, given that he was only 5?6? and 140 pounds.”
