Six Invincible in the Wilderness Filing for a Catastrophic FA
Blog Article
The stove league, which was briefly shaken by the transfers of Choi Won-tae and Kim Kang-ryul and Ryu Ji-hyuk's contracts, is expected to calm down again for a while.
Six of the 20 FA-approved players have yet to decide their future course of action. Pitcher Lim Ki-young, who declared his FA status at his original team KIA, infielder Seo Geon-chang, and infielder Ha Joo-seok, who belonged to Hanwha. Only Lim Jung-ho among the internal free agents has successfully signed a contract, while Lee Yong-chan and Kim Sung-wook have yet to be announced. The same goes for Kiwoom pitcher Moon Sung-hyun. Of the six, three are rated B, including Lim Ki-young, Ha Joo-seok and Lee Yong-chan, while the other three are all rated C.온라인바카라
With bullpen pitchers showing strong performance in the Stove League this year, Lim is an all-weather pitcher. He has made three starts this year as well.
The gap between last year and this year was too wide. In this season, he had six wins and two losses with a 6.31 ERA in 37 games for the first team. He even briefly left the team in late March due to a judgment that his abdominal muscles were damaged. He was not even included in the entry for the Korean Series. The burden of being FA B grade and the fact that side-arm pitchers faced difficulties due to the introduction of the automatic pitching determination system seem to have significantly affected their value. The Kia team had three meetings with Lim Ki-young. They are narrowing the gap between their opinions to negotiate the stay.
Some teams wanted to recruit Lee Yong-chan, another bullpen pitcher. However, NC reportedly refused to do so because it was a sign-and-trade transfer, not an FA recruitment. Currently, the discussion itself has been withdrawn. If he stays, he is likely to change his position as a starter. NC met Lee twice and has already offered the amount.
Another B-grade infielder Ha Ju-seok has lost ground in the original team as well. As soon as the FA market opened, Hanwha acquired Shim Woo-joon, a shortstop resource, for up to 5 billion won (approx. Transfer to another team is not easy. For now, Hanwha has kept in constant contact with Ha and is monitoring the market situation.
C-grade players, who do not have compensation players, are also expected to need a little more time.
Infielder Seo Geon-chang said, "The bad luck of the FA continues. Seo continued his baseball career with his hometown team this year, contributing to KIA's overall championship. It is an opportunity to enjoy the FA rights, but the contract has not been signed yet. Like Lim Ki-young, Seo has had three meetings with KIA.
Outfielder Kim Sung-wook, who has "one shot," also exercised his right as an FA for the first time in his career, but it is not easy. He had a batting average of 0.204 with 17 home runs and 60 RBIs in 129 games this year. He has 17 home runs since his debut, but his batting average was too low. After meeting twice, NC plans to continue negotiations with Kim.
For Moon, this winter is very cold for Kiwoom. Since his debut in 2010, he has played all positions including starting pitcher, mid-season pitching, and finishing pitcher. This season's record was one win, two losses, three saves and two holds, with an ERA of 6.57, in 42 games. However, he was not a priority for recruiting other teams. Kiwoom's original team has also received negative responses.
