Biography: His signing by Yokohama became controversial after Bigbie was named in the Mitchell Report as a user of performance enhancing drugs. After it was initially thought that Yokohama was going to then pass, they kept him, albeit with special provisions in his contract in case he was caught using again. That became moot, though, as he was injured during spraing straining, delaying his debut,  and then suffered subsequent physical maladies. Plus he didn;t hit as anticipated and was released at the end of the season.

Biography: Signed in June, 2008. Destroyed lefthanders, but did almost nothing against righties. However, they decided to keep him for 2009 due to his power potential. But he then had a bad spring training, consigning him to the minors to begin the year and never really did enough, especially against righties again, in a limited opportunity to stick with the top club and was released at the end of the schedule. Signed by the Chicago White Sox after leaving Japan. Reference:  Wikipedia Japan

Biography: Could hold eight baseballs in one hand. Some Japanese baseball writers believe that he may have had the biggest hands in Japanese history. Let's just hope he isn't genetically disposed to Marfan's syndrome. Suffered a fracture of a pinky finger in July, 1993 after a game at Meiji Jingu Stadium and returned to the states to rehab it, but was kept on anyway. However, that fracture also ended a 29 game hitting streak, just four off the record (6/2-7/15/1993). Selected to two all star teams (1994-1995).

His 204 strikeouts in a season is a Japan record (1993). His 31 straight games with a strikeout is a Pacific League record (6/29-8/29/1990).
