    I read that he was projected to be an early first round draft pick in Korea, not really sure the talent equivalency.

    Here's a write-up of yesterday's U18 championship game between the USA and South Korea. There's a picture of Bae Ji Hwan midway down the page.

    Love this writer: 'Bae Jihwan, the first batter, grounds to shortstop and tries to reach sliding head first. He’s the first out, but shows team spirit.' Too bad Bae wasn't here to show Heyward how to love baseball.

    That would depend on which Koreans we are talking about.

    Well, we have to end apartheid for one. And slow down the nuclear arms race, stop terrorism and world hunger. We have to provide food and shelter for the homeless, and oppose racial discrimination and promote civil rights, while also promoting equal rights for women. We have to encourage a return to traditional moral values. Most importantly, we have to promote general social concern, and less materialism in young people.

    When it's their names, I follow their rules. So it's Bae Ji Hwan to me.
