There was one report today from a sports consulting firm with ties to Korea that right-hander Suk-min Yoon was close to a deal with the Orioles.

I looked into it, and I can?t find anyone that will characterize it as ?close.? Of course, given the Orioles? offseason and the two failed physicals, the club won?t be characterizing anything until any deal becomes official.

The best I could come up with is that the Orioles are still in negotiations with Yoon, but so are multiple other teams. I?d imagine something happens soon with Yoon (little poetry there), but I don?t know an exact timetable or exact landing spot.

I hope that 2 weeks from now I am dead wrong, but...

:rolleyes: I don't think you really mean that. You might have to come forward with hat in hand and eat crow, but you don't really hope for it. If we sign Arroyo or Burnett, I think you'll find a reason to hate either of those moves, as well.

I hope you prove me wrong. Okay...not really. :)

Yeah actually I do hope I am wrong, because I want a team on the field to get excited about. I want a team that has a real shot to win something. I want something other than complete shots in the dark, over proven ML players who would definitely help us win more games. If you want to ignore how this team operates and drink the Kool aid that is fine, but it won't be me. Sorry when they change the way they operate I will change the tone of my posts. Been waiting for years.

Nothing would make me happier than signing Yoon, signing Burnett and taking the payroll ALL the way up to.....$105 million or so but I have little faith that will happen. I mean how disgusting is it that we are just praying this team takes the payroll all the way up just over $100 million? How sad is that?

But that is where we are right now. And where will will be until someone else owns the team.

I call it like I see it, no "hating" about it. More like frustration.

If that one was filthy than the first one, where the hitters bat ends up in center field, can best be described as being in the same category as Jason Giambis gold lame thong.

Just Wrong.

I would not mind seeing Yoon pitch for the Orioles.

I wouldn't either. I see a lot of Miguel Gonzalez in that video. The breaking stuff isn't fantastic, but the command is excellent and the split/change is high quality.

That is the same as my recollection.

I try and keep up on the NPB and KBO guys that might jump to MLB.

Wada had that surgery we remember, but a couple years after he came back, he missed liked three months with elbow inflammation. Still, since the year following that he was healthy, who could have guessed what would happen to him? I was excited when we signed him.

Yoon seems to be pretty healthy. I have a friend in Seoul who's also a baseball fan, he said the guy has been a reliable pitcher through his career, no major injury scares, and was pretty solid in a couple stints as the (Korean) Tigers' closer. He said his reputation has just been as a "bad luck" pitcher, the kind who will throw a great game while his team gets shut out. I could live with that.

      I put this ridiculousness in the game recap, but I think it belongs here as well.  Using AI you can really make some crazy stuff. 😂 https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce

      A buddy of mine made this with his AI. I figured I’d just put this here. 😂   https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      I was listening to MLB Prospects podcast last week. They talked about Gillen, and mentioned a lot about how he may be the best high school hitter. However, it’s a tough call where he’ll go because of a weak arm. They said the arm was injured, a right labrum, and his arm strength is not back after two years. So, probably wasn’t going to be a SS anyway when said and done due to size, maybe a 2B/LF or CF profile due to the weak arm and 60 speed. He was projected to maybe become the top high school player in the draft as a sophomore, but injured the shoulder and had some other injuries that have held him back. It is going to be interesting to see where Elias goes with picks 22 and 32. I would like to see Gillen there, but I think he’ll be gone. Kellon Lindsey is interesting, and maybe Billy Amick, along with one of the previous college hitters you mentioned will sneak through. Lindsey is rising fast.

      A good friend of mine coaches college baseball.  He’s studied and dedicated his career to understanding how humans move. Not all humans move the same way.  An incredible talent could potentially be taught to move against his body’s preference and fail.  New wave progressive coaches understand how various body types work and the nuance to teach/coach them effectively.

      I'm still trying to figure out how this guy is out of the majors for 7 years and somehow manages to pick up 2 MPH on his fastball, at the age of 34.  But hey, I'm not complaining.   Statcast loves him so far this year.  Statcast thought he was a little unlucky in his last stint in the majors, and unsurprisingly they think he's getting a little lucky now, but even accounting for his good luck he's still in great pitcher territory.

      2 "gutsy" starts in a row.  That's exactly what you want out of veterans to demonstrate to the young guys.
