Comments: Their following had been relatively small by Hanshin or Yomiuri standards, but that
audience grew substantially with a Japan Series title in 2005. However, they lost two big cogs in
the offseason that had helped them to glory, Seung-yeop Lee, who went to Yomiuri, and Dan
Serafini, who was picked up by Orix. That coupled with disappointing years from submariner
Shunsuke Watanabe, third baseman Toshiaki Imae and any Marines outfielder you casn name,
they plummeted into fourth place in 2006. They have to find some middle of the order pop and 
fortify the back end of that bullpen or a repeat of 2006 could be in store. That will try the patience
of the faithful, who already have to endure Japan's version of the old Candlestick Park.
