Kang ended up missing the entire 2017 season. He did play briefly in the Dominican Winter League recently, but that stint was cut short when he failed to perform with his new team.
what does "failed to perform" mean?

he hit .143/.219/.202 in 24 games
i imagine conditions are difficult for korean players in the dominican winter league, but

i mean, that's not THAT bad, sheesh. right now adam duvall is hitting .159/.247/.329 in 24 games. ok, i guess that's pretty bad

gotta love these throwback uniforms. the google image search for "Pirates Tekulve Baseball" is so good.
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 29 April 2018 17:44 (five years ago) link
the unis are great but the throwback hats are terrible -- instead of wearing the real stovepipe caps they've just put lines around regular-style caps ugh
tbh the 1971-style uniforms they wore on sundays a few years ago were actually classic; these are just 'fun'

they've done very well against bad teams and okay against good teams; i guess that's all one can ask
stealing corey dickerson from an even more egregiously cheap team was a nice move!

probably not, but it's pretty cool! he's been up for two weeks and already has more homers than the very disappointing first baseman

iirc you weren’t enthusiastic enough about how good they were, causing them to tailspin

god help any team whose record is based on my enthusiasm

three errors in the first inning = five unearned runs = never reaching .500 again

the chris archer era has not begun well, but unless he's completely terrible i think he'll fill the role of everyone's favorite pirate since the jettisoning of cutch
