Sox reliever Byung Hyun Kim- (sounds like he's done for the season)

[NewYorkerfromMass]

Nice info I picked up in today's Globe. Sounds like they don't want to risk using him again in the playoffs this year unless they absolutely have to. Anyway, good info in the middle of this article here:

"The Sox once hoped Byung Hyun Kim would anchor their bullpen in the postseason. But by the time they reached the decisive game of the Division Series, their focus had turned more toward getting him back on track for next year after he suffered a crisis of confidence and a bout of disillusionment. In the latest effort, Little met with Kim on the flight from Boston Sunday night and reassured the righthander he could have a solid opportunity to join the starting rotation next spring....

"There has been a whole lot of communicating to try to get him comfortable here so he can be more productive," the manager said....

"He's in the same situation as any player who isn't getting perfect results like they always want," Little said. "The bottom line is, the kid is only 24 years old, and he's in a strange place. We've had him in a couple of different jobs. It's still an adjustment for him, and it could go into spring training, but I think it will help a guy like him tremendously to start off in spring training in one place and grab a role on a ball club and stick with it for a whole season."
