A Wada I Can Like

Via Baseball Musings  |  December 13, 2011
The Orioles signed Japanese pitcher Tsuyoshi Wada, described as a soft-tossing lefty. With that last name, we probably don’t need to worry about him doping! He certainly seems to strike out a lot of batters for a soft tosser. If the upside is Jamie Moyer, I can see the Orioles being very happy with this signing.
