Josh Reddick Oakland A’s
May your 2014 season be more like your 2012 season than your 2013 season. Actually, let’s hope for a 2014 season even better than 2012. How about a .280 average and 70+ walks to go along with 30+ homers?
Suk-min Yoon (윤석민) Kia Tigers
I had the chance to watch him pitch in Gwangju last summer.
Alex Rodriguez (New York Yankees) and Freddie Freeman (Atlanta Braves)
These two ballplayers are headed in opposite directions. Alex Rodriguez is literally out, as in sitting out the 2014 season due to a suspension for violating the MLB drug policy. Freddie Freeman, on the other hand, just signed a new contract and figures to be the heart of the Braves organization for years to come.
Lee Yong-Kyu (이용규) of the Kia Tigers with Choi Jae-Hoon (최재훈) of the Doosan Bears catching
Sadaharu Oh may have been the first professional baseball player to implement a leg kick into his swing. It is a rare sight in MLB these days. Maybe Hunter Pence does one? Any others? In any event, the leg kick is fairly common to see in Korean and Japanese professional leagues.
Darnell McDonald of the Boston Red Sox leaps …
… and does he catch it?
The fans and the Blue Jays bullpen know the answer to that question.
It’s February, and that means spring training for MLB will begin soon. Boston will seek to defend their title, but the Yankees have spent a fortune this off season to try and stop them.
The guy who hit the ball that was caught, above, Kelly Johnson, is now a Yankee. I was actually hoping this hit had turned into a home run as Johnson was on my fantasy team at the time.
