NEW YORK — Yu Darvish, with his shaggy, orange-tinted hair and a dark goatee, was the center of attention for fans, media and teammates alike Thursday as he worked out with the Texas Rangers.
At 194-cm, the Japanese pitcher has quite a presence even before considering that the Rangers spent more than $107 million this winter to land him.
"It's definitely not normal," Darvish said. "Even now, am I the type of player who should get all this attention? I still don't know."
The team's prize offseason pickup looked comfortable in his new surroundings on the first day for pitchers and catchers at Surprise Stadium, where dozens of Japanese reporters arrived early to record the right-hander's every move. - http://www.japantimes.co.jp/
