happy to be out of Japan.
Miceli signed with the Tokyo-based Yomiuri Giants during the off-season, but after
four appearances he worked out a settlement on his contract and was released.
He reportedly received a $1.8 million payoff, but in turn agreed not to discuss his
Japanese experience.

Outfielder Gabe Kapler, who also played for the Rockies, was Miceli's teammate in Japan,
and indications are he is trying to negotiate out of his contract so he can return to
the Boston Red Sox.
