The posting system is really unfair to the player because it sets the bar so high in terms of expectations.

I can understand its necessity but being transplanted from one country to another is stressful enough, let alone pitching with a 30 million dollar price tag just to start negotiations.

Not to mention playing in NY where every move is scrutinized.

I really felt for him when I read this :

I hope he gets picked up by some other team next year.
