Dodgers GM Ned Colletti signed Korean left handed pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu for 6 years, 36m. Ryu represents South Korea in the 2013 World Baseball Classic. He has All-Star potential. Ryu is dominant and can be counted on to pitch 6, 7 or 8 innings each start. This should take some pressure off the Dodgers bullpen. Nice sign by the LA Dodgers!
THE MAIN PART OF THE DEAL
LA DODGERS ANNOUNCE A SIX-YEAR, $147M DEAL WITH 2009 AL CY YOUNG WINNER RHP ZACK GREINKE. THE TRIO OF CLAYTON KERSHAW, ZACK GREINKE, AND HYUN-JIN RYU MAY BE THE BEST STARTING 3 IN MLB…UNLESS YOU LOOK EAST TO THE WASHINGTON NATIONALS’ STRASBURG, GONZALEZ AND ZIMMERMANN. (AND ADD HAREN AND DETWILER, AND I STILL THINK THE NATIONALS HAVE THE BEST STARTING ROTATION IN THE MAJORS).
The Dodgers will formally announce Greinke today at 1:30 PT. He will wear #21. Ryu will wear #99.
111 Days til OPENING DAY 2013!

Greinke is coming from the American League, where he never batted. How do you think he'll do? And do you think that the Nationals have the best hitting pitchers?
