Pirates Had Scouts Watching Korean First Baseman Byung-ho Park

Jung-ho Kang has been a huge success for the Pirates this year, and a huge value after signing a four-year, $11 M contract and getting a $5 M posting fee. So it's no surprise that the Pirates would be looking at the next guy expected to come out of Korea -- first baseman Byung-ho Park. Dan at MyKBO has the news.

Dan also elaborated who was actually watching these players.

Brooks is the Director of Player Personnel, and DelPiano is a Special Assistant to the General Manager. No confirmation that those two were the ones actually there, but if they were, you've got two high level guys watching this game, and not just a regular look from an international scout.
