November 29, 201510 yr No wonder pitchers in Korea don't have fastballs. By custom, they throw 20-25 innings worth of pitches to just get warmed up, before they even throw a pitch in the game. (though I also wouldn't be surprised if Nitkowski is stretching it for effect, either.)
November 29, 201510 yr I thought I heard $600 K a year, but I'm not entirely sure about that.Seems low. Andrew Albers got a "high six figures" guarantee when he went over there. I would imagine Park would have received (or at least be in line to receive) more than that.

Shockingly, some good insight in the comments, too. http://www.hardballtimes.com/keep-an-eye-on-korean-baseball/ The clubhouse stuff is really interesting. NPB isn't the KBO but I wonder if the cultures are close enough that it was a factor in the Nishioka disaster. I am excited about Park, I hope he adjusts well. Ryan/Molitor seem to value clubhouse culture highly which hopefully will help.
November 29, 201510 yr As of 2 years ago, his KBO salary was about $500k: http://www.mykbo.net/KBO_news/february25thsrandomkbonews-2
