Availability
Despite a nice performance this Spring, Byung-ho Park finds himself facing a minor league stint as Twins make final roster cuts. Park batted .353 with 13 RBI and six homers in 19 Spring outings.
Fantasy Impact
It will probably be a short visit for Byung-ho Park who had a disappointing season in 2016 after knocking 50+ homers in back-to-back seasons in the KBO. Looks like most fantasy players weren't convinced of a bounce-back by Park either as only 4% drafted him across most leagues.
After a dismal 2016, Byung Ho Park is having a nice Spring for what it is worth. Park is hitting .409 with three homers and six RBI. But, will it carry over to the regular season? Only time will tell.
Fantasy Impact
Byung Ho Park was a fantasy bust last season (I know I got burned) batting an embarrassing .191 in 215 at-bats and hit only 12 homers. It was a far cry from his 53 home run season in 2015 for the KBO. Things can only look up, but buyer beware! I predict something in the range of a .230 average and 15 to 20 bombs for Park in 2017.
The Minnesota Twins have designated 1B Byung-Ho Park for assignment to make room for Matt Belisle.
Fantasy Impact
Byung-Ho Park was the Twins big FA acquisition last season and it seems that they might have given up hope. Park had a hard time adjusting to Major League pitching in 2016 as he hit .191 with 12 home runs and 24 RBI in 62 games. In regards to fantasy, unless Park can get back up to the majors and get regular time he is irrelevant.
After examination, Byung-ho Park will undergo season-ending surgery on his right wrist.
Fantasy Impact
Park got off to a nice start to the season before he ultimately struggled and was sent down to the minors. He showcased solid power early but struggled to reach base consistently for the Twins.
In order to make room for Miguel Sano, who was activated off the DL this morning, the Minnesota Twins have optioned DH Byung-ho Park to the Triple-A Rochester Red Wings.
Fantasy Impact
The Korean slugger has never struggled in professional baseball until this season, where although he's slugged 12 HR, has only 24 RBI and is batting .191 with a .275 OBP.
