The Dismantling of Doosan Continues, Kim Dong-ju to sign in the NPB

Doosan Bears slugger Kim Dong-ju is as good as gone. The 32 year old 3rd baseman is seeking greener pastures with the Chiba Lotte Marines of the NPB. According to this, I believe his contract situation should be resolved by the end of the week.



In 11 seasons with the Bears(OB and Doosan), Kim batted a robust .310 with 214 homers and 833 RBI's. Kim's departure coupled with Hong Sung-hoon's defection to the Lotte Giants leaves 2 very large holes in the middle of Doosan's lineup.
