If baseball scouts turn over enough rocks an occasional gem does surface. The Boston Red Sox have two success stories in combing the world for baseball riches and that is Ryan Brasier and Hector Velazquez. Braiser made a name for himself in Japan and was repatriated to the Red Sox where he has enjoyed success. An article in which I previously discussed Japanese options of foreign players. Is there any talent available in the hitter-happy KBO (Korean Baseball Organization)?
Korea has already supplied one player to Boston in much-maligned right-hander Byung-Hyun Kim, but Kim also has been an All-Star.
