Dodgers win the rights to Hyun- Jin Ryu

[cubfanbudman]

25.7 million just to be able to negotiate for a player who at most has 3-4 starter potential and at the least is a bullpen arm seems really high to me.

When will teams realize that these players are incredibly over-hyped and not worth it? Ichiro, Nomo, Darvish so far, and one year of Dice K are the only ones that worked out. The vast majority of them don't find success.

Hiroki Kuroda and Hideki Matsui certainly worked out as well.

Aoki will continue to be solid.

It's the Dodgers, just blowing money wherever they can.

Yeah but they want to trade Ethier and the huge contract they just gave him mid-season.

As long as it wasn't the Cubs. After the Fukudome debacle... I don't care to see Asian players getting huge contacts here.

I don't see why race makes a difference in terms of skill or ability here, but I can see how Japanese players can bring in extra revenue however.

Just look at the percentage of success. Its not race.... just incompatable playing styles.

There's no way Matt Murton is a better ball player than Ichiro.

Since when is there a posting system between MLB and the KBO?
