Japanese right-hander Yu Darvish is likely to be posted after this week's winter meetings, according to two sources. However, Darvish's father, Farsad, told the Japanese news service Sponichi that the pitcher's decision might not come until mid- to late-January, a time frame that could limit his appeal only to the wealthiest major league clubs. Major league teams will refrain from excitement over Darvish, who throws 94 to 97 mph and projects as a top-of-the-rotation starter at age 25, until he commits to the North American game.
