Sayonara Olivo, Konnichiwa Jojima?

The Hawks won their 15th straight game, defeating Rakuten 14-3. Catcher Kenji Jojima made news both on and off the field. He went 3-4 with 3 RBIs and before the game announced that he would test the free agent market in America for his services next year.

Could Jojima be the solution to the M's problems behind the dish? Jojima is 29, and last year hit .338 with 36 home runs. He is currently hitting .315 with 20 HRs 18 doubles, and his 97 hits show that he is not just a swing for the fences power hitter.

While I do not know Jojima's skill with English, keep in mind a couple of things. I don't think Olivo has a strong command of the English language and Jojima has been handling English speaking pitchers for years.

For the time being, file his name away as the M's season continues to go down the drain.
