Rest-of-Season Projections
Toritani has decided not to move to MLB this winter despite overtures from Toronto and San Diego, the Japan Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Toritani will return to Japan and play for Hanshin in 2015. He'll be 34 next year, so it may have been the last chance he had to play in MLB.

Patrick Newman and Peter Schoenke examine the players poised to make the move from Asia or Cuba to MLB. Is there another player like Yasiel Puig in this year's crop of talent?
2015 Fantasy Outlook
Toritani's strong defense and on-base skills have long made him a favorite in Japan's sabermetrics community. He doesn't offer much power, but he gets on base, having led the Central League in walks from 2011-2013, and finishing second in 2014. He's walked more than he's struck out in each of the last four seasons as well. His contract allowed him to sign with a MLB team this winter, but he chose to return to Japan. Perhaps he'll reconsider for 2016. The recent failures of Hiroyuki Nakajima and Tsuyoshi Nishioka in MLB may lower Toritani's profile, but he has a skill set that can translate to MLB and it's worth noting he played his home games on a dirt infield, rather than turf like Nishioka and Nakajima.
