Shogo Akiyama, Reds

Turning 32 on April 16, Akiyama heads to the states after nine seasons of raking the ball in Japan. Whether that will translate to MLB remains to be seen. In 143 games in the Japan Pacific League last year, he batted .303 with an .864 OPS, 20 home runs, and 112 runs. According to MLB.com, he is a six-time Pacific League Gold Glove winner in center field.
