The Japan Times' Wayne Graczyk has compiled a list of all 62 foreign players as well as the 10 managers and coaches who are signed to play (or coach) in Japan in 2008.

Do you miss Larry Bigbie? He'll be playing in Yokohama. Lew Ford? He'll be on the Hanshin Tigers. Hiram Bocachica? The Saitama Seibu Lions.

The most eagerly anticipated arrival in Japan is Micahel Restovich, who is described by his manager Sadaharu Oh of the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks as "the second coming of Randy Bass."

Spring training in Japan starts on February 1.

Man, you'd think Matt White could afford to just pay for a luxurious trip to Japan rather than have to play for it.
