The Lotte Marines said Friday they have signed a two-year, $3

million contract with Panamanian slugger Julio Zuleta, whose contract

talks with the Softbank Hawks broke down recently.

 

''He'll be a major force in our bid to regain the Japan Series

title (the club won in 2005),'' Lotte team president Ryuzo Setoyama

said at a press conference. The amount includes a signing bonus of

$800,000.

Some players are just better off over there. For one reason or another, things click for them.

Never thought I'd see the words 'Julio Zuleta' and 'major force' in the same sentence.
