Brett Ho Parko

Wow, Ned continues to IMPRESS! Word from Korea is that the Dodgers have signed..............wait for it............................................no, not one of the next good Japanese players coming over this season...................but.....................................................CHAN HO PARK!!!!!! The Karate Kid! At least its only a minor league deal. Park actually looked good two years ago as Korea's closer in the WBC but never seemed to get a shot to do that in the Majors.

Considering the luck we've had the last few years and the need that required us to use Brett Tomko, Mark Hendrickson, Elmer Dessens, David Wells, and Esteban Loseriaza, Park will probably get some face time on the mound for LA next season.

Park has always pissed me off as a fan. He was one of those guys that had the stuff but never the mental aspects to be a successful player. I was bummed when he went to Texas but glad we did not sign him after watching him flameout there. Maybe he is healthy now and maybe he will want it more and actually be a nice addition, I will not hold my breath though.

Congrats to RUssell MArtin on picking his first of what should be SEVERAL Gold Gloves at the Catcher position. Russell should only get better under Torre and Bowa and hopefully the addition of a Miggy or ARod to help in the lineup! Martin was probably the team MVP for 07 so it is great to see him get some recognition.
