Ever notice in the last 2 years of baseball there have been a tremendous amount of japanese/chinese players playing in the league?
Chan Ho Park, Kazuhiro Sasaki, and Ichiro Suzuki to name a few..

Yes, Chan Ho Park is Korean and he's been in since I think almost as long as Nomo. We forgot Masato Yoshi. Also the Mets had a Japanese middle reliever a few years ago but I forgot his name.

| I know Seattle also have a young Korean guy by the name of Shin-Soo Choo playing down in the Arizona League for the Peoria Mariners. Apparently he is quite outstanding, and pitches just as well as he hits, though he's only a small guy so they're probably going to groom him as a lead off hitter/base-stealer in the Ichiro mould. |

Most of them seem to start out well and then die down....

If a Mariner were to win the MVP award I think that Bret Boone would be the one to get it.
