DAng I didn't know Park Chan Ho was making that much! No wonder the Rangers suck, between Park and A-Rod, they have no room for anyone else.

Dude, I just thought of something.. When that guy Seung Song makes it to the Bigs, the sportscasters are gonna have a field day with the pun for his name. (sung song, as in a song that was sung...)

CLEARWATER, Fla. - Two spring trainings ago, the Phillies spent a combined $2 million on a couple of pitchers from South Korea.

Seung Lee, a 6-foot-4, 225-pound righthander, received a $1.2 million signing bonus. Il Kim, a 6-3, 225-pound righthander, was given $800,000.

In retrospect, the Phillies may have made a costly mistake.

There is still hope that Lee will find his way to the big leagues, but he has a long road ahead of him. Lee, 23, went 7-10 with a 3.24 earned run average last year at single-A Lakewood and was promoted to Clearwater, a higher-level single-A team, before the end of the season. At Clearwater, he allowed just one unearned run in 19 innings.

Those performances earned him a roster spot in the Arizona Fall League, where Lee went 0-6 with a 6.97 ERA and allowed nine home runs in just 31 innings.

"I still think he's a prospect," Phillies assistant general manager Mike Arbuckle said. "Time will tell what level of prospect. We saw progress this past year. We probably hurried him to the [fall league] a little bit. When he got there, the velocity was down on his fastball. He probably had enough innings already. I wasn't that discouraged by what happened there."

Lee will likely open the season at double-A Reading.

On the other hand, Arbuckle has been extremely discouraged by Kim's development. When the Phillies signed Kim, 23, he was listed at 190 pounds. Last season, he weighed at least 40 pounds more.

"He's a non-prospect," Arbuckle said bluntly. "He'd have to show some significant strides to become a prospect again. The clock is ticking for him."

He's not really 6'2, I think. When he was playing for the Dodgers, you could find Chan Ho pretty regularly in ktown. Pretty thick for a Korean dude, I'll give him that. But he's SUCH a prick.

My cousin, his wife and a wife's friend from Korea went to a Dodger just to meet Chan Ho. They showed up a while before the game started and were able to run into him, and he totally blew them off. My cousin spoke to him in jon de mahl (respectfully) and everything and he waved 'em off. It was so lame that another Dodger pitcher (I forget his name) saw this and walked over to Park and tried to get him to at least say hello and he just ignored him.

BTW...nice site!
