*Yung-Chi Chen will not be participating in the WBC. In other NT news, HC Yeh has said that he won't take any player who will not be participating in the Australian training session onto the WBC team.

The Hanshin Tigers signed their top pick, Yi-Jie Hsiao to a huge signing bonus (the largest for an overseas player since Ching-Lung Lo - US/Chih-Chia Chang - Japan) - 90 million yen (~$973 K USD). His annual salary for 2009 will be 13 million yen ($140.5 K USD). Hsiao is taking aim of Seibu great Kaku Taigen's (Tai-Yuan Kuo) record of 117 career NPB wins.
*The only way for the CPBL to entice Tsao to stay home and play is to offer a salary comparitive to what President Lions RHP Wei-Lun Pan is making right now (roughly 6 million NT a year - which translates to $179 K USD).
