Not only because of the potential power and run producing capability he could bring but because as an adoptee of South Korea myself, it was pretty cool to see my country represented in a Minnesota Twins uniform no less.
So imagine my excitement when Park was hitting well to start the season.
I was even in attendance when he smashed that bomb against the Los Angeles Angels to straight away center into the new Catch area.
However, things soon regressed for Park and we all know the story from there as he now finds himself stuck in Triple-A limbo, watching the likes of Kennys Vargas and Eddie Rosario starting to figure things outs.
