Chan Ho Park with the Mets...

louief1 — Fri, 09 Feb 2007 16:26:26 -0000

What do you think about this? Good/Bad Signing... If he makes the team, how will he do next year projections? Personally, I think its a low risk/high reward signing but it will take some focus (good or bad) from Humber and Pelfrey... Another project for Mr. "I'll_fix_it_in_5_Minutes" Peterson (and I hope he does...)
