Quotes:

"If I was thinking about coming back to Japan when I first decided to go to the Majors, I would have kept my house [in Japan].  I was not thinking about that when I left.  I now see just how lucky I was.  I think this actually might be good for me."  Sponichi 1/17/2013

"I am very thankful [for the offers from NPB teams], but I think I would like to play in the Majors.  I still have a month before [spring training] and I have left it all up to my agent.  I am in no rush.  All I can do is believe and wait."  Sponichi 1/17/2013
