New acquisition
(R) Rookie B-T: Bats-throws CONSIDER THIS a modest proposal ... In his nine-year career Byung-Hyun Kim (left) has been used as a starter, closer, setup specialist and mop-up man. The sidearming South Korean has never mastered lefthanded hitters in any role, and in the last few seasons his struggles against them have just about chased him out of the game.
