Hyun-Soo Kim a possibility?

[Wallerrrr]

Their just racists

[Turd Ferguson]

If the reports are true that they are trying to get him to possibly go back to Korea I can say with confidence they have seen enough to make the call that he just isn't a major leaguer. I doubt it has to do with his stats but rather his ability.

 

They are trying to send him to AAA and he is resisting. I wish Pitt had given up on Kang last year after he hit 200 and K'd 17 times in 45 spring training ABs.

so basically because the O's were stupid enough to put a clause in his contract that allows him to block a demotion to the minors they either have to leave him on the 25-man roster or cut him while being on the hook for his salary...lol...well played O's.

i don't think that's fair to the O's. he wasn't coming over here to sign a contract to play in the minors. contrary to what's being said in this thread the asian players are having quite a bit of success in mlb. it's no different than a AAA player breaking into the mlb, there's a period of adjustment. after that, it's on the individual player's ability to adapt.

Dude is killing it for the Orioles. He was someone I really wanted the Angels to get over Cespedes and Upton. Only cost $7 million for 2 years. 

 

14th best wrc+ in the AL and hitting .348. 

 

Never understood why we weren't more interested

Some dude named Trumbo just hit his 25th home run. 

This organization

There is a lot of risk involved for sure but, with our circumstances, I'd be looking at the Asian and Cuban FA guys a lot more than we have been....FA market is very weak this year, our farm stinks, we have nothing much to trade....

We don't waste money on asians, only crack heads.

I distinctly remember one or two posters bumping an old thread mocking those of us who said he would be a worthwhile signing when there was talk of him not making the 25-man roster. Oops.

So Kim has been written off because he is Asian and because he has had a bad spring training? Given the state of this franchise, it wouldn't surprise me if this is actually how we evaluate players.

Looks like Turd won the thread. At least until Kim has a bad 100 AB stretch and @Stradling or @Lou bump the this one up again. lol

[Troll Daddy]

Crapshoot

[gotbeer]

If we had Kim, Hwang, Maeda, and Oh.  They would be the second third and fourth best players on this team.   Hwang was a bust.  But for what, $15 million, you would have 3 contributors. 

But who are we kidding. If those three were on this team, one would get ebola, the other zika, and the third would try a magic trick and impale themselves.

Don't worry @Stradling , even Trout started his MLB career pretty crappy.  Base it on those 40 games, and he'll be released soon.
