I don't blame them for trying. Wang obviously has a lot of talent. While the chances of it not working are obviously greater than having success, that's exactly the type of outside the box-type move that small market teams need to hit one every one in awhile to stay competitive with the big boys. Thing is, it was working out. He had a good season in AAA last year, so at his age still on track to be a good MLB pitcher. We will probably never find that out now, but going over to Korea can't be controlled- unless you just stay away from international players altogether. Wang had been released by the Brewers after his Rule 5 stint. Anyone in the league could have picked him up.
