Seattle has signed 3B/C Choi Ji-man out of Korea.  I don’t know anything about this guy but thought it was noteworthy because there were rumblings a little while ago that the Mariners were going to start shifting their scouting focus from Latin America to the United States and Asia under Jack Zduriencik’s reign.  I’m not sure how much truth there is to that, but we’ll keep on eye on the team’s tendencies from here on out.
