There will be a different type of intrigue attached to Orioles left fielder Hyun Soo Kim this spring. A year ago, the questions were about his ability to play in the United States, and now, everyone is wondering if Kim can hit left-handers.
Last year, Kim suffered through a horrid spring training, failing to get a hit in his first 23 at-bats and fighting the Orioles when they tried to send him to Triple-A Norfolk to begin the season.
His bad spring was quickly forgotten when he showed he could hit big league pitching.
Kim ended up with a .302 average and a healthy .382 OBP in 95 games. But he didn't play much in the season's early weeks.
