    Hmm. I'm not sure what to think about this signing. All I know is it's the first Oriental pitcher that we've signed in a while or... ever? He can't be any worse than some of the guys in our pen. Let the guy compete for a spot.

    I second the Glen Barker bashing/hoping he scouts better than he hit/ran.

    I remember, his baserunning cost us a few games...

    Seriously though "Asian" is the preferred term as "Oriental" refers to rugs and a train.

    With how bad our minor league system has been, I don't understand how anyone the Astros sign can be that disappointing.
