Yoon Suk-min pitches for O's and Giants

[Can_of_corn]

Is this guy even straight to the majors ready? KBO is even a little behind the Japanese league isn't it? One year deal might get you a Norfolk pitcher and then gone.

I think if he is healthy he would be.

Of course if it wasn't for his health issues he would be signed by now.

Looks like he sits around 85 mph on his fastball, and it appears he throws both 2seam and a cutter/power slider. I saw a few with some downward action so I'm not sure if he has a curve or if his slider/cutter is just a bit inconsistent.

I see a circle change with nice movement and speed difference but it looks pretty distinctive coming out of his hand. Sits around 75 mph with this change up.

He's a soft tosser, but from what I saw he hits all speeds between 73-74 up to 85-86.

I don't think his curveball will translate well. I don't think the break is late enough or distinct enough from his slider for it to be a successful pitch for him. I'd rather him focus on the cutter, 2seam and changeup. I don't think he has the stuff to be a starter, though he has the makings for a very crafty pitcher.

His biggest problem is his name. There's just too much you can do with that.

There's a lot to do with Kosuke Fukudome too.

In the AL East this guy would get lit up.

I trust DD and FF's eyes a lot... but I have to agree with Birdland here. Jaime Moyer threw harder than 85 din't he?

Towards the end he was 85 and below I believe.

I am currently 98% curtain that Mr. Peter Angelos has never heard of any of the players that Dan Duquette is signing withing his budget. Obviously any player Dan signs does have to pass a physical. And if there is an exception in the physical Dan probably runs it up the food chain. If he still wants to sign the player himself.

I wonder if his nickname is YooSuk.

I wonder if his nickname is Suk-mine.

This is pretty amusing: "Hey, wd you fly more?" and "Captain can't park her right!" BTW the Korean lettering in the lower righthand corner literally spells out "Haha News." For those who don't know, this prank was in response to a San Francisco station's creation of puns using pseudo-Korean names, such as "Wi To Lo," after an Asiana Airlines crash landing:

Not buying it.

I agree. Obvious racist comment.

Think this is what happened with Balfour? I do.
