Mariners Sign Chinese Players to Minor League Deals

Tap Sum ~~Bong~~

Wang?

Wang, 28, is a 6-foot-2, 190-pound catcher. He’s played 10 years of professional baseball in China and has led Beijing to six League Championships. He has been the starting catcher for the Chinese National Team since 2002. Wang hit a two-run homer in the opening game of the 2006 World Baseball Classic versus eventual WBC champion Japan to tie the score at 2-2. He was the first player to homer in the WBC.

Jia, 24, is a 6-foot-3, 200-pound infielder/outfielder. He’s been a member of the China National Team since 2003. Jia led the CBL in home runs this season.

Best Regards

John

And to be honest, the Yankees need a backup catcher. Is this Wang any good?
