More on Kim Seong-min

About this post on pitcher Kim Seong-min, I got a message from Yonhap copy-editor Tracie Barrett who says Kim contract was not, in fact, declared null and void but only delayed for 30 days, during which he can stay in the United States but must train on his own, not with the team. “No lost job, no lost half million dollars,” she said, also noting that she has checked with Yonhap sports writer Yoo Jee-ho, who has been covering this story quite closely.

Ahem…i already pointed this out days ago in a comment to Bobby “No-Know” McGill’s “let’s get our info from a bunch of no-name blogs post. I didn’t link any references because it was in many reliable news media.

Thanks for the clarification, Robert. And thanks Sperwer for your shining example to us all.

Sprewer is right. It could have been better sourced. But, as the original post opened: “This according to Baltimore baseball blogger, Barry Petchesky.”

Let’s get a drink sometime, I’ll spring for the dolphin and we’ll drink to the reliability of bloggers quoting bloggers and the commenters who loathe them. :D

OK. I’ll buy the drinks, but let’s skip the dolphin for a genuinely overfished species like swordfish – or just a good steak.

Alas, to be so cruelly scorned by The Hole’s very own Lord Faarquad! Woe is me. Pass me a chocopie, please.
