Josh Fields confirmed via his Twitter account that he has joined the Yomiuri Giants of Japan's Central League. We learned last week that the Giants were attempting to get Fields out of his contract with the Rockies, so apparently they were able to reach a satisfactory agreement. The 28-year-old was hitting .365/.429/.674 with 11 home runs, 45 RBI and a 1.103 OPS over 203 plate appearances with Triple-A Colorado Springs, but it says something that the Rockies weren't willing to promote him to the major leagues, especially since Ian Stewart proved to be a bust.
