Last year Kang signed a 4/11 deal with the Pirates. If Park's contract is in that neighborhood, with a small posting fee, that's pretty low risk. That's the kind of investment you're looking at for Parra, and Parra just might throw up a couple zero-win seasons.

Is $20 million what you consider a small posting fee? That's supposedly what's been talked about. I don't think he's coming for the chump change you seem to think he is.

Eric Thameswho is basically a career minor leguer and a few stints in tha majors had very similar numbers to Park the last two yers.

Thames 47 HR 42 2B 40 SB .381/.497/.790/1.288 103 BB 91 K

Park 53HR 35 2b 10SB .346/.436/.714/1.150 78 BB 161 K

I'm not sure that's a huge indictment of Park. Thames might actually be a decent MLB player, he had a fair 2011 season with the Jays, but then a poor 2012. He had some pretty big numbers in AAA. Of course he hit poorly the 150 PAs he had with Norfolk in 2013; I didn't even remember he'd been in the O's system.

$20M in total commitment including posting fee? That's still a rather small amount of money. Even if he ends up being an average first baseman you'd pay $12-15M a year to get than from a MLB free agent.

I assumed $20 mil goes to the Korean league, and then additional money goes to pay the player, but I probably shouldn't have assumed.

So does anyone think that the O's bid over $12 million?

Me, I think this is an overreaction to the deal that the Pirates got with Kang last season.

Park and his team Nexen Heroes have announced they are very pleased with the result and the team will accept the highest bid of $12.85M, more than doubling the previous posting bid of $5,002,015 for Jung-Ho Kang, submitted by the Pirates. The highest posting fee ever for a KBO player was that of Hyun-Jin Ryu at $25.7M.

It is still unknown which MLB team had submitted the winning bid for the Korean slugger as it was a blind posting process.

If the Orioles did bid 12,850,000 and the contract is 4/11 plus a 5 million option that Kang signed for.

Your looking at 5 years at about 6 million per year. This could be a real steal if the guy has similar number to Kang with some extra pop.

You cant take just a guy that hit 50 HR in 2 years in whatever program he was at, and believe, that he can do the same thing at the big league level.

He can't. Yamaico Navarro hit 47 there. But he does appear to have power. 13 million is a ton for the rights to talk with him though.

They only get it if he agrees to a deal right? If so and his deal is similar to Kang you just got a league average or better 1B for 6 million per.
