Remember Choi?

Remember Choi? | FanGraphs Baseball:

"Choi celebrated his 31st birthday eight days ago. Presumably his Major League career is over. The ending was pretty bland and in 100 years Choi is going to be less than a footnote in baseball history."

From Korea Times:

"The defending champion Kia Tigers have re-signed their two biggest bats, locking up Kim Sang-hyun and Choi Hee-seop Friday.

Kim signed on for 240 million won for the upcoming season while Choi will earn 400 million won.

Kim gets a 362 percent raise from last season while Choi's salary was doubled.

Choi, the former major leaguer, signed a 350 million won contract with the Tigers midway through the 2007 season but after a bad year in 2008, his salary was cut to 200 million won last season.

But in 2009, both players were among the league's biggest power hitters and helped the Tigers to their 10th Korean Series trophy. Kim recorded a .315 batting average with 36 homers and 127 RBIs and Choi hit .308 with 33 dingers and 100 RBIs.
