TT: Something to consider when talking about Hyun Soo Kim

[Can_of_corn]

He does not have a draft pick to trade.

Currently.

Did you read Rosenthal's piece with Dan that came out today?

This really deserves its own thread, and I think I'll start one to avoid having it get lost in a 50-page thread about Kim.

Dodgers have only two relievers left, no hitters left on the bench, and a game tomorrow.

Kim's status (hamstring injury) is still up in the air.

The reception Hyun Soo Kim received on Opening Day needed no translation. The reverberation of boos transcended language and culture; they mean the same thing in English as in Korean. After the Baltimore Orioles outfielder refused an assignment to the minor leagues out of spring training, a right stipulated in his contract, many critics let Kim know how they felt.

Exaggeration right?

“[Kim] was an easy target,” Jones said. “[The critics] were insensitive bastards.”

Just felt like including that quote.

“I never thought I didn’t belong,” Kim said.

I have to admit I was wrong about him. It just took him a little time to adjust. I think he should be leading off when he gets back.
