Any interest in Byung-Hyun Kim?

Post by picasso »

This from MLBTradeRumors:

Byung-Hyun Kim Trade Seems Likely


The Rockies have too many starters, and one of Byung-Hyun Kim and Josh Fogg is likely to be dealt before the season begins.

Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post says that the Rockies have made it known in recent talks that Kim is available.  He speculates that Kim's lower salary and relative youth make him the more attractive pitcher.  Oh, and there's also the fact that he's better than Fogg.

You know what would be awesome?  If the Red Sox traded for Kim and used him as their closer again.  But seriously, there should be strong interest around baseball in Kim as a starter or reliever.  He wouldn't be a bad fit on the Cardinals.  [end quote]

I don't see a lot of interest from the Cards. Maybe as a RH set-up man.

I wouldn't want to give up any real good prospects for him.

Kim has had a very up-and-down career, but he could be extremely useful. He's got a reputation, though, as being a bit hard-headed, and you know how Duncan is about pitchers who won't listen. ;)

Personally, I'd like to take a flyer on him, though, and see what he could do in the setup role (especially with Kinney out). Maybe we could get him for Aaron Miles?
