Isnt he over 30? I dont think Japanese players (or cuban, etc) who have been playing pro at the highest levels elsewhere for 10 years should be eligible. When Matsui won it I didnt think it was quite right. I think they should generally be in their first 1 or 2 pro seasons at the highest level. If someone is 32 but just broke through to the majors then they are a rookie. If theyve been playing at the highest level in japan, theyre not really rookies.
