Left-hander Horacio Ramirez has signed with Kia Tigers of the Korean Baseball Organization, the team announced today. Dan of the MyKBO.net blog reported yesterday about the signing.
Ramirez, 32, has a 4.65 ERA, a 4.2 K/9 rate and a 3.5 BB/9 rate in 169 games (105 of them starts) over eight seasons with the Braves, Mariners, White Sox, Royals and Angels, making 12 appearances with LAA in 2011. The southpaw threw for scouts two weeks ago but apparently couldn't find any Major League takers.

Oh yeah, Horacio Ramirez. A fringe #5 fantasy guy around what, 2006?
If he had to sign with the KBO, does that mean he couldn’t find any Japanese takers either?
FriedCalamari
That, or he could just prefer Korea to Japan. Maybe more moneys?
