I'm trying to figure out where all the non-Asian foreigners from the NPB 2006 season are playing in 2007, if anywhere. Help me hunt!
I'll edit in links to where I got the various info from when I get a chance. A lot of it was just from going through the MLB NRI lists and the japanesebaseball.com forums.
Note: this is not the list of "which foreigners are playing in Japan in 2007?", but the list of "what happened to the ones who were playing in 2006?"
