With the season only a couple games old the Texas Muddobbers made the first huge International signing of the season. The Muddobbers have signed 19 year old pitcher William Kondou from Osaka, JP. Kondou signs with the Muddobbers with a 3 year 981,000 contract with a 15 million dollar signing bonus. Kondou appears headed to the Muddobbers ML team in time as possibly the teams closer. We contacted manager lilcoch about this signing and this is what he had to say.
Tell us what you liked about Kondou to make the signing ?
I liked everything about Kondou.
============================================
Is there anything that made you think twice about signing Kondou as the bidding war went on ?
Not really, after waiting all last season for a great prospect and not landing one. I was ging all out for this one.
=============================================
=============================================
What scout found Kondou ?
Santiago Rodriguez
==============================================
When do you expect him to make his ML debut ?
I would say 2 seasons from now
==============================================
Do you expect him to live up to the 15 million he got in a signing bonus ?
I think so, I think he will be my closer for a longtime.
===============================================
Does Kondou have a place with the Muddobbers forever or could you see him being traded in time ?
I won't say forever, I would have to great offer to trade
===============================================
We thank manager lilcoch for his time in answering our questions and wish him luck with his new pitcher.
