So....what the hell does everyone think of this guy? I don't even know what to think or even a ballpark figure for projecting him.

I am hoping he will be buried in the rotation and will be a "sleeper".  I know he is not a sleeper but if he faces other teams 4th and 5th starters I see a lot of success.

You do understand that rotations and schedules from one team to another do not always match up that way. If he was the #4 or #5 to start the season, and the Dodgers had a 3-game series followed by a day off, he could conceivably start against another team's #1 in his very first matchup. Or, a the #5, he could potentially get skipped for the first few weeks.

One of the hardest players to scout this year, very few guys have come from Korea and played right away, so it's hard to get a feel for how his stats will translate.  He's been filthy the last 3 years with a combined line of 2.51 ERA / 1.06 WHIP / 9.42 K/9, but again is this even against AA quality?  Worse?  Better?

Favorable situation, good pitchers park with 2 other extreme pitchers parks in the division; good lineup, and he's left handed with a great change up.  He pitched in the 2009 WBC, albeit as a 21-year old reliever, gave up 2 runs over 7 and record a win and 7 k's in a Silver Medal performance by the South Korean squad.  Pitched on the Gold Medal winning team at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, going 2-0 in 2 starts with 13k's in 17.1ip (nearly 2 complete games).

I see him being somewhat of a "Crafty Lefty", should be around 90 mph with his fastball; his K/9 won't be near 9 in the Majors, but his Walks should be in the low 2's per 9, so if he can keep the K/9 up around 7.5 his Command will still be up around 3.0 or more.

Yes I do understand that but what I was trying to say he will be buried in the rotation and I see a Wei-Yen Chen type of season with maybe some more strikeouts....

I was impressed the time I saw him pitch, but I did read that he might begin in the minors, that Dodgers staff is pretty full right now.
