Chan Ho Park says he must be a starter


Per Reuters, 36-year-old free agent relief pitcher Chan Ho Park says he must be starting pitcher next year for a major league team.

"I want to be a starter, the hero of the game. I need a favorable environment to play better. I put priority on a team which has a good atmosphere, gives me a starter role and can advance to the World Series."

Chan Ho Park as a starter? That seems a little crazy but I have an open mind so let's check this out.

Let's look at his yearly ERA while he was a starter:

2002 - 5.75
2003 - 7.58
2004 - 5.46
2005 - 5.74
2006 - 4.81
2007, 2008 & 2009 - No team dared to start him regularly and some years not at all.

I am convinced. He can do it.

How much do you want to be paid? Too much is not enough.

Just let us know.

he needs a favorable environment? He is a much better reliever than starter.

His results were better, which means they were favorable.

I like the logic.
