MLB HPより抜粋。
松坂のコメントのみ。
"To the fans and my teammates and everybody else, I hope everybody supports and understands whatever decision I make."
"I had a very good season, and I'm very grateful for whatever opportunities exist and of course I want to make the most of them. During these past two years, my feeling toward participating in Major League Baseball has grown more and more. I've been in Japanese baseball for 10 years. That seems like a long time."
"I'm not nervous about anything. I think I have to raise my level a bit, but I think I have it within me to succeed. So I'm full of confidence."
"Even last year, I thought about being eligible for posting. But this year seems to be the time,"
"I will listen to his advice and support in deciding what to do. Of course, I have to also talk to my wife and friends and colleagues, teammates and the team itself. I have to consider all of those things in deciding what to do."
"I had a really good feeling and was very excited by seeing those games. The first game I saw was in Atlanta, and then I went to New York and saw Yankee Stadium. Yeah, you have to say that's a place that's just filled with history, and you could feel that when you were there."
"I've talked to a lot of people, and they said it's a place where things are happening."
"Ever since playing at Koshima, it's been my ambition to do the best I can in whatever capacity or place I can. My image of Major League Baseball is power."
"Of course, American baseball is the highest level of baseball in the world."
やっと松坂の出番がやって来た。
どのチーム入団でも、1年目から20勝以上の最多勝とサイヤング賞を期待。
Koshimaとは甲子園のことか。
