Good question. Thats my guess as well. Need to get as long a look at him as possible.

Uh....who the hell is Lim?

37-year-old veteran Japanese Korean sidearming closer we picked up on a super-cheap deal this spring because he wanted to rehab with an MLB team after TJS.

 

He came back a few weeks ago and has been shooting up from rookie ball to Iowa. He's K-ing a little more than 1 per inning, not walking many, and there are reports his velocity is in the low 90s. If he can stay healthy and maintain that velocity, he might be an interesting bullpen piece for next year.

Yeah, he's potentially an important piece for next year. He was really good in the KBO, he signed a very incentive-laden deal with us, that could make him up to 5 mill or so. I think I read he's hit 95 recently.

If only he were whiter and Tony Campana, that bone headed baserunning would be grit.

@BruceMiles2112: Sveum said DFA of Borbon was a message about careless play. That said, Borbon was The 25th man. #Cubs

 

I bet Dale even asked Borbon to put on a Starlin Castro mask before entering his office.
