NPB:
CS Yang is still popping up in Fighters box scores, so I can't verify if there's any truth to the earlier report on Yang having season-ending surgery on his ankle. The Fighters won 2-1 over the Eagles as Yang got in the game in the 9th inning as a PR. Box

Baseball America finally announced Yen-Wen Kuo's signing with the Reds yesterday. It also looks like the Cubs signed another Korean kid - which is good to see.

Good job CMW! Im glad he matched 19 this year. too bad he couldnt get 20 though. Overall, a good year for Wang. I wonder if Chia Chu Chen got signed also?
Anyway, Hu is 0-3 right now. The team has only collected 4 hits anyway. 1 from the pitcher and Young has 2.
hmm, to bad. both hu and juan pierre went 0-4 today. oh well, atleast hu hit that homer earlier
check out the article about hu and young on the dodgers site. manager little says he was surprise with Hu's power at the major league level
Wang has won the most games in the MLB during the last two years? I'm already thinking of his upcoming 300th win... It might not be so far off.
i Think 300 is a long shot unless he wins about 20 games until hes 40
Good read on Hu, thanks.
As much as I'd like to see Wang continue to eat up innings and chalk up the wins, I can't help but think about the down time he had in the summer of '05 when he was diagnosed with a partial tear of his rotator cuff. Hopefully Wang can continue to stay healthy and avoid the persistent injuries that have plagued Tsao and Kuo.
