Indians Ink Chen-Chang Lee....

MLB:
The Indians inked their third player from Taiwan in RHP Chen-Chang Lee. You can read all about Lee's former exploits and accolades here. He is the 6th member of the 2004 junior national team to sign with a ML club. Lee reportedly received a signing bonus in the ballpark of around $350K (*Edited) - hopefully he passes his physical with flying colors.
