Our View: Apparently Contreras has contacted the Hanshin Tigers and will be visiting Japan next week. He's entering his 16-year-old son in an exchange program, but will likely reach out to some pro clubs while overseas. The 37-year-old finished last season with a 4.92 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in his 23 starts, so he likely won't be fantasy relevant even if he stays stateside. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jose_Contreras/653220 653220 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:36:02 EDT fanball.com 1 days 20 hours 54 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Jose_Contreras/653220 Free-agent RP Jose Contreras (Rockies) is considering pitching in Japan during the 2010 season, according to Japan's Nikkan Sports, via Patrick Newman's NPB Tracker.
