If the Elephants franchise survives this ordeal, it will undergo a significant face lift next year with the team roster.
FT Ni weighs in with his 2 cents.*updated
NPB:
One-time wonderkid Yi-Hao Lin was released by the Yomiuri Giants. You've got to wonder WTF happened here (in hindsight, the Giants failed to develop the phenom - tinkering with his mechanics & the advice he received from WH Huang and HW Lin to go to Japan didn't pay off) . Makes you ponder and think what if had he chosen the other route and decided to sign with a MLB team (in that scenario he would've received a lot more money - rather than the nominal $100 K he got from the Giants, and better development in the US).

Now we know why Tsao kept on stinking it up. Haha.
Lol, I was thinking the same thing.
Is gambling endemic in Taiwan? Is it a cultural thing, or just the players trying to make it some money?
It's both: Taiwanese love to gamble & the majority of CPBL players are underpaid and hence are easily tempted by the money being thrown at them.
