Rest-of-Season Projections
Houlton signed a two-year, $5 million contract with the Yomiuri Giants, the Kyodo news service reports.
ANALYSIS
Houlton led NPB with 19 wins and had a 2.19 ERA with a 121:36 K:BB ratio in 172.1 innings while leading Softbank to the Japan series title. He would have been an intriguing pitcher to watch if he had returned to MLB, but it looks like he'll stay in Japan for the near future.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2008
2007
2006
A former Rule 5 pick out of the Astros organization, Houlton spent most of the year in Triple-A Las Vegas, posting a fine 3.65 ERA in 24 games in a hitter's paradise. He had a pair of stints with the Dodgers in 2007, pitching 18 games in relief with average results. We could have seen him replacing Mark Hendrickson as the team's long reliever / swingman, but he'll plan in Japan in 2008.
