Takuya Tsuchida will go to spring training with the Indians minor leaguers in March and probably open the year in extended spring. He's a left-handed hitter with speed and athleticism, who can play several positions. Right now his best two spots are center field and second base. The Indians have scouted and talked to Shohei Otani, another 18-year-old Japanese player with a much higher profile. Otani, a pitcher, has told big league clubs that he wants to forego playing professionally in Japan and come straight to the United States. Several teams are interested, but he has been drafted by a Japanese team. Under the new collective bargaining agreement, each team has an allotment of $2.9 million to spend on international free agents. The Indians had about $700,000 left before signing Tsuchida. It will take much more than that to sign Otani, but the question is do any teams have enough money left to get a deal done. Teams are penalized for exceeding their free agent allotment. -- http://t.co/K129mJAN The speedy left-handed hitter's best positions are second base and center field, according to Hoynes. Tsuchida is expected to report to Spring Training with the team's minor leaguers and will likely begin 2013 in extended Spring Training. As Hoynes notes, general manager Chris Antonetti had roughly $700K of the team's $2.9MM international spending cap to work with prior to signing Tsuchida. On the international front the Indians have already signed prospects Grofy Cruz, Francisco Mejia, Yoiber Marquina, and Naoki Hashimoto. -- 印地安人簽下日本高中生土田拓弥，土田的優勢是速度快、運動能力強，可以守多個位置 (目前守中外野和二壘最強) 土田會先去春訓報到，也有可能先打延長春訓再進入小聯盟 -- 印地安人在簽土田之前已經簽下Grofy Cruz, Francisco Mejia, Yoiber Marquina和橋本 直樹，所以只剩下$700K─沒辦法簽下大谷翔平 -- "HARD WORK BEATS TALENT WHEN TALENT FAILS TO WORK HARD." --
