Player Notes
April 2, 2009
Ken Kadokura has been released by the Chicago Cubs, according to NPB Tracker.

Our View:Kadokura, who appeared in six spring games before demoted to the minors, said he received other MLB offers before joining the Cubs, so it's possible he could join another club before the regular season.

The Cubs have inked Japanese hurler Ken Kadokura to a minor league deal, according to the Associated Press.

Our View:The 35-year-old went 76-82 with a 4.36 ERA over 302 career games with the Chunichi Dragons (1996-1999), Osaka Kintetsu Buffaloes (2000-2003), Yokohama Bay Stars (2004-2006) and Yomiuri Giants (2007-2008). He does not look to make a solid impact if he manages to make the Cubs' roster at some point in 2009.

The Chicago Tribune reports that the Chicago Cubs are interested in Japanese right-hander Ken Kadokura as a potential reliever.

Our View:Considering Kadokura is 35, was released by the Yomuri Giants and spent a lot of the season in the minor leagues, it seems odd that the Cubs would be interested in acquiring his services. Kadokura has a career record of 76-82, with 10 saves and a 4.36 ERA.
