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.
