This is mind boggling to me. Aren't the Japs supposed to be the smartest people in the world. Dude has been here for 15 years and still needs a translator.

With that being said, he's gunna sign with the Marlins and we will win it all.

He can speak it. He just doesn't want to because he knows it pisses you off.

The funny thing is that he knows a bunch of Spanish insults, so he can talk shite to all of that Latin American players.

I've always had a ton of respect for Yao because his English is phenomenal, and he didn't speak a word of it when he first came over.

Isn't Spanish the dominant language in MLB?

If I was going to live in a country for more than a year, I would learn the language.

Jews are #1, Asians are #2. I know, Israel is in Asia but you know what I mean.

He might just prefer to use a translator to make sure he doesn't say anything stupid.

Yu Darvish still uses a translator even though by all accounts I've heard from Dallas media he can speak English well enough.

Not sure why you care and I really doubt that he can't speak it at all. He simply chooses not to when it concerns the media.

boo hoo.
