Article: Stop Comparing Park To Nishioka
David Iverson replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Others have already made the point I’m about to make, but I’m going to say it again anyway using different words. Comparing the two players themselves is silly, but it is absolutely not silly to compare the two when it comes to the processes used by the Twins to scout and sign players from Asian leagues. Yes, the NPB and KBO leagues are completely different leagues, but when it comes to scouting and signing players from those leagues, the process looks pretty similar from my vantage point. The last time we saw the Twins go through this process to completion it was an abject failure, so not only is it not silly, it is prudent and important to ask whether the Twins have changed how they scout and sign players from Asian leagues between signing Nishioka and Park.
