From the Hanshin Tigers of the NPB Central League:

Delivered a .399 OBP, hit .292, is 25. Plays shortstop and second base. Had only one homer, but knocked 29 doubles and four triples. Most impressively, he had 85 walks against 70 strikeouts.

 

If he could be acquired (posting? purchase?), I think he'd be what the Brewers are looking for at second base - and later the bench.

Give me anybody who can hit over.275, not strike out much. Too many hitters on the club hitting .250 or less.
