OT: Kelvin Jimemez an all-star in Korea

Occasional Kelvin Jimenez update for DanUp and other Jimenez fans...

Kelvin Jimenez is an all-star in Korea...!!

The all-star game was held on last Saturday. He pitched scoreless 1 1/3 innings.

Jimenez(left) talks with Karim Garcia, a former major leaguer.

He seems to enjoy the game as much as anyone, doesn't he?

Jimenez was pretty mediocre for the first two months. However, in his last 7 starts he has been exceptional, allowed just 4 ER in 47 innings. His season stats so far:

19 G, 18 GS, 108.2 IP, 12 W(2nd in the league), 3 L, 43 BB, 64 K, 3.23 ERA(5th), 4.01 FIP(7th)

He isn't overpowering hitters; he throws strikes, gets ahead in counts, and generates groundballs. Looks like he executes Duncan's game plan well now.

On the Doosan Bears now.

Looks like he’s doing well. Very cool. Thanks for the update.

I'm out of champagna. How about some 7-Up and Mad Dog 20/20?

Must be a pretty high scoring league

if a 4.01 FIP is the 7th highest in the league!

Still bitching to contact.

yes

The average ERA in the Korean league is 4.66, whereas it sits at 4.15 in MLB.

my son

is 6 months old and dong very well. Thanks!!

Choi was an all-star in Korea, too. He is hitting .302/.428/.502 now. I, as a Cards fan, don’t like him for obivious reasons, but have to admit he has been playing pretty well since his return to Korea.
