Asked by a member of the Japanese media whether Orioles fans were ready for a pitcher from the Far East, MacPhail said: "I think Baltimore fans are ready for pitchers who get people out."
Pretty decent update on the offseason by Zriebec, as well.

I don't even really understand the question
What’s to be ready for?

They look different! And don't speak the language!
Wasn’t it just a couple of years ago that our Opening Day rotation had a Canadian, a Panamanian, a Mexican, a Dominican, and a Kris Benson? Um, baseball’s a melting pot. Maybe I’m out of touch with my hometown, but I didn’t think we were a bunch of bitter frightened racists or anything.
Or are we supposed to distrust the Japanese because of Pearl Harbor? Who asked that question, Furman Bisher?
Now that I actually READ the article
Apparently the question came from a Japenese reporter. Perhaps something got lost in translation…still an odd question. But it wouldn’t be surprising if most Japanese didn’t know much about Baltimore.
You know how happy I would be
if we got someone like Uehara, even if I can’t spell his name yet. It would just show how much improvement we’ve made at getting players from every possible source.
