1. Masahiro Tanaka, Starting Pitcher
When it comes to Japansese pitchers making the jump to the majors, there have been success stories like Yu Darvish and then there have been horror stories like Kei Igawa. Tanaka is going to get paid like Darvish, after going 24-0 and posting a 1.27 ERA in the Japan Pacific League, so the hope is for whatever team who signs him that he more resembles Yu than Igawa.
