Byungho Park

Park decided to move to MLB after spending nine seasons playing in Korea. The power-hitting first baseman collected more than 50 home runs in each of the last two seasons while playing for Nexen of the Korean Baseball Organization, batting .343/.436/.714 over 140 games with the club last year. His power should play in MLB, but he will take his share of strikeouts, as he fanned 303 times in 1,193 plate appearances over the last two seasons. Jung-Ho Kang became the first hitter to move from the KBO to MLB and he hit 15 home runs for the Pirates last season after hitting 40 home runs the previous year in South Korea, showing Park could produce right away in the majors. He'll get a chance to win regular playing time at DH after signing a four-year, $12 million contract with Minnesota.
