Thread: Best Asian starting pitcher!

  1. #16
    Not much of a choice, but I ended up going with Ohka. Who is having the greatest season out of all them. Wang was the runner up choice for me. He's played great so far for the Yanks.

    I, too, go with Ohka, though I love Ishii's upside if he gets it together and the Mets find a pitching coach who is actually competent.
    GO METS!

    Kim really had promise once.

    If you're going by this year, it's Wang. Career? I'd have to say Ohka.

    It's crazy that Nomo, Park, and Kim were all fairly dominant at one time.

    I wonder if it was more that they lost their stuff, or the league adjusted to them.

    Down in Kokomo, where we'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow.

    With Nomo I think it's a combination of both. For the other two, I just think the league adjusted eventually.

    But has anyone read anything on Ohka and the Brewers? His control has been greatly improved it appears with his limited time there (although at the same time he's more hittable.)
