Yanks Sign Taiwanese Infielder

The Yankees have signed Taiwanese infielder Fu-Lin Kuo. Here's some info on Kuo from Donnie Collins:

... he’s 19, somewhere in the 6-foot, 190-pound range and most likely a second baseman — I’m not going to pretend to give you a scouting report.

he’s 19, somewhere in the 6-foot, 190-pound range and most likely a second baseman — I’m not going to pretend to give you a scouting report. This one is the best that I’ve found, and it ranked him as the No. 4 senior high school player in all of Taiwan last year.

It also said he is “a poor man’s version of the Seattle Mariners’ Yung-Chi Chen.” Hope that helps.

To give you a better idea of what a poor man's Yung-Chi Chen is, in 381 games over six minor league seasons Chen is hitting .295/.348/.413 with 22 HR, 125 RBI, and 80 stolen bases. Not too shabby.
