The second year is when you expect a full recovery.

We stuck him in there when we ran out of other options last year. He settled into that role real well. He's not just a guy hitting behind (Todd) Helton anymore. He's a legitimate fourth-place hitter.

There was some hype [when Kim first came to the U.S.] and she showed us the reason for the hype. That's a live fastball. He topped out at 95, he probably threw a dozen or so at 93 and he had a sharp slider. I think we'll have to find some other opportunities that present themselves and see how it works.

Spinning out of his delivery. Most of the times when he misses, it's (to his) arm side.

We couldn't buy a hit when we needed one. We went three games where we got the hit when we needed it and we haven't been able to get one the last three games.

optimistic for a full recovery.
