Is it right? How should be "育成選手"?

Absolutely, there are the person who want to search the hole of rule or decision.

Japanese sports media said Royota Wakiya, Infielder of Yomiuri Giants, was released. And it also said that the team will contract with him as a "development contract". If you say it in Japanese, "育成契約(Ikusei Keiyaku)".

The contract style was born in 2005 to the players who has been missing the chance to play in professional baseball world. For example, Tetsuya Yamaguchi (山口 鉄也NPB Official) and Tetsuya Matsumoto (松本 哲也NPB Official) was raise as a good sample because both of them got the Award of Rookie of the year.

And, Yoshifumi Okada (岡田 幸文NPB Official) became big example of "育成選手". He contracted with Chiba Lotte in 2009 as a development player, and he can be regular contract on beginning of 2010. He debuted in top team, and he hit lead-off triple with RBI which lead the team to NPB champion in 2010. He got regular positon in 2011, and it made him valueable player of team.

You can find the development contract has good side. But in Wakiya's case, it is different from other players. Wakiya was regulaer player in 2010 (132G 113H 14double 8triple 7HR 43RBI 28SB 35BB .273BA). He took surgery of right elbow in this year. So, it's just only "hoarding". It is absolutely different from true aim of this system.

I want to suggest to create rigid rule of that contract. Specifically, the player who has already appear in top team's game must not contract with team as a development player. The box or mound should be prepared for the player who are going to challenge.
