Wow. That's the biggest international signing the Cubs have made yet I believe.

I ain't got shit for you on this one. This is a completely out of left field signing not unlike most of the Korean signings. My guess is we'll have to wait till Oneri Fleita makes a public statement about him.

Coincidentally, I have a friend in Korea right now. I'll ask if he's hearing anything locally on what kind of player this guy is. The fact that the Cubs signed him for 1.2 million dollars with next to no competition for him tells me that he's got huge upside though.

I can think of one guy who probably would say that he wouldn't mind having this kid shine his shoes.

As long as he's not predjuice, because I hear he prefers Chinamen.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Kris (Chicago): Thanks for answering my first question, Kevin. This will be my last one(albeit in two parts): What have you heard about Kim Jin-Yeong, the Korean pitcher that the Cubs reportedly signed for $1.2 million? Speaking of Korean pitchers, what do you expect from Dae-Eun Rhee, once he returns from TJ surgery?

Kevin Goldstein: Yeong is very intriguing. Smooth easy arm with projection, already 90-92 mph as a teenager. Rhee really was one of the better arms in the Midwest League when healthy, so I'm looking forward to his return.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

If my math is right this guys should be about 1/50th the pitcher Dice-K is.

Prediction: He'll be climbing a mountain in ten years talking about how much fun it was living in Iowa.
