Q & A

What does Okada say about the batting order for next season?
-Okada says he doesn't want to change the batting order much from last season unless a new player emerges who is clearly better than the current starters.
What does Okada say about pitching on opening day?

-Okada mentioned Morishita, Noguchi, Maekawa and Inoue as candidates competing with the current starters Noji and Yoshida for the open outfield spots.
What does Okada say about shortstop competition?
-Okada expects Sato to be the shortstop but said bringing up Ono and Kishi is meant to pressure Sato to improve, not take his spot.
What does Okada say about third base?
-Okada sees Sato as the third baseman and doesn't expect prospects like Noguchi to convert to third base successfully.
How does Okada view player development?
-Okada looks for players to show improvement in their approach and attitude year-to-year more than just their stats.
What outside opinions does Okada mention?
-Okada references insights from former player Yoshida about developing defense first and not focusing too much on batting initially.
How does Okada decide the opening day starter?
-Okada weighs team needs over individual glory, so may avoid starting the ace opening day to preserve him for critical games later.
