Cubs Sign Korean SS Lee Hak-ju, I have the Scouting Report, Jim Edmonds Debuts as a Cub

Lee Hak-ju (Korean SS) Scouting Report: Scouts have said that he has better defensive tools than Derek Jeter had in the early 1990's, Hak-ju is only 18. He has average power and make good contact but has amazing speed. He gets down the first base line in 4.10 seconds. All of his offensive tools and speed compare him to Ichiro. If the Cubs just signed somebody with combined tools of Derek Jeter and Ichiro, HOLY COW!
Former Cardinal Jim Edmonds made his debut yesterday. I would've never imagined him wearing Cubbie Blue. He recieved a standing ovation from the Friendly Confines crowd, and singled in his first at bat as a Cub. We'll see if he can fare well as a Cub unlike he did earlier this year as a San Diego Padre.
