If Kang has a big season, I think he will get posted next offseason. He hasn’t lost his desire to move to the States. This could be his only year on the Eagles.

Kang signing is official now. The heart of the Eagles lineup - Kang, Hyun-bin Moon, and Si-hwan Roh - is arguably the best in the KBO. This goes with some of the strongest young pitching in the league.

Sounds like Baek-ho Kang is signing with the Hanwha Eagles. Huge pick up for an offense that was streaky and slumped in big spots. Kang has proven himself clutch. Kang signed with an American agency and had wanted to test MLB, but that was always a long shot this offseason.

Hyun-min Ahn with a massive home run in the eighth inning. If you were watching the KBO, you already knew the youngster had crazy talent. The soon to be Rookie of the Year award winner looks ready to make a name for himself at the WBC.

When a dozen scouts were in attendance to see Ponce, Woo-joo Jeong stole the show. When his team’s season was on the line, Jeong shut down the Twins. Today at the Tokyo Dome, Jeong struck out four over three innings, allowing no runs or hits. He’s 19. Remember the name.

As an Islanders fan born after the golden years, I’ve never seen a player like Matthew Schaefer on this team. He’s a bonafide superstar in the making. Schaefer and Bobby Orr are the only defensemen in NHL history to score six goals in fewer than 20 career games. Bobby Orr!

Who else but Sung-moon Song follows Ahn for a back-to-back blast. Two big league talents on the international stage.

Are you talking about in America or Korea? Much less money in the Korean game but the teams are all owned by massive chaebols that operate the teams at a loss.

Not official yet, but Nathan Wiles is signing with the Kiwoom Heroes, bringing the total number of KBO foreign signing so far to five. Former Rays prospect, Wiles has exactly one inning of MLB experience.

Two more Asian quota signings in the KBO. The Eagles signed Taiwanese pitcher Yan-Cheng Wang, who had a 10-5 record with a 3.26 ERA in NPB last season. The Wiz signed Japanese pitcher Koki Sugimoto, who has pitched as a starter and reliever in Japanese independent ball for past three seasons.

The only concern for Team Korea in these two games is Seo-hyun Kim carried over his late season struggles. He was the only Korean pitcher to surrender a run and didn’t make it out of his one inning of relief. At this point, Kim may not be an option in high leverage spots. Game
