KipWellsFan Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Wyatt Allen, Byeong Hak An, Brian Cooper, Neal Cotts and Kris Honel, as well as catcher Jonathan Acevas. I thought Cooper would be around longer, he was having a decent spring. Pitching 2 and 2 thirds innings and only giving up one hit and no walks. This surprises me because Cooper has also had some major league experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaSoxRox Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Byeong Hak An - I can't wait until he makes the majors. What a great name! So what the hell is the Hak part? A second first name, a middle name or the beginning of his last name? Why the hell can't they make life easier for us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A second first name, a middle name or the beginning of his last name? Why the hell can't they make life easier for us? If I am not mistaken, Hak An Byeong would be his first, middle, and last..... kinda like Ichiro is the only player to have his "first" name on the back of his jersey when, in actuality, Ichiro is his last name. Confused? Good. So am I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesox247 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Speaking of jerseys, I'd like to see a five year old kid wearing a Doug "Mientkab****" jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipWellsFan Posted March 10, 2003 Author Share Posted March 10, 2003 I don't know if this has any relevance but Yao Ming's jersey has Yao on the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Hudler Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Wyatt Allen, Byeong Hak An, Brian Cooper, Neal Cotts and Kris Honel, as well as catcher Jonathan Acevas. I thought Cooper would be around longer, he was having a decent spring. Pitching 2 and 2 thirds innings and only giving up one hit and no walks. This surprises me because Cooper has also had some major league experience. The cuts in ST have two purposes. First, to clear the roster to get more playing time for the guys who they feel have a legit shot at making the club and to allow the guys cut more playing time in Minor League camp. Secondly, is saving $$. The per diem's in big league camp are much bigger than in minor league camp ($100 to $20 or something like that - the numbers may be off, but the difference is hefty). Also, if players provide their own housing, they receive a housing allowance. The housing allowance for guys in big league camp is much larger as well. Plus, like they did tonight (Cooper and Dellaero), they can still have guys from Minor League camp come up to play in a Big League game at any time.

Chisoxfn Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Yep, like Hudler said, its mainly a money thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 On the first name, last name subject... In Japan, it works the same as it does here, I believe. Hence, Ichiro is the given name, Suzuki is the sirname. In China, it is reversed. Yao is sirname. Now what the deal is with pitcher that was just sent down .... Korean? .... I think I saw him listed in a boxscore as "An". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
