Going into today, the 2023 Cubs averaged 4.41 runs per game after scoring 10+ the game before.

Yea surprisingly to me their bats have been good this season,  hopefully they'll get a couple the second time through the order.

Has a Korean or Japanese free agent signing ever lived up to their hype for us?

Tsuyoshi Wada. I really wanted him to be a thing.

Hak-Ju Lee says what?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Honestly baseball-reference claims Choi spent parts of five years in the majors and hit 40 career home runs. 10 of them for us.  I do not remember that at all, I thought he crashed out in like AA

[chibears55]

Morel practically came out of nowhere last season and has turned himself into a solid hitter with unexpected power...

He pretty much a perfect DH for them

[CubinNY]

Morel missed more than 40 games to start the season. The Cubs would probably have won at least one or two more games if the let him start the season.

I recall he spent some time with the Dodgers after the Marlins. My only real memory of Choi as a Cub was the collision on the in field when he hit the back of his head on the grass.

Kerry Wood KO’d him. I think I remember him having a good game against Clemons.

He even participated in a Home Run derby the only year they decided to have players representing different countries
