We recruited 4 players for 185 million won...How should I look at it.

Kiwoom Heroes' recruitment of 'Excellent' continues. Attention may be divided whether it is the recruitment of full-fledged players in the `FA frenzy era' or the desperate reinforcement of the `Cheondol Club.'

Kiwoom officially announced the recruitment of veteran infielder Oh Sun-jin on the 17th. It is a one-year contract with an annual salary of 40 million won.




Kiwoom is becoming a 'land of opportunity' for the players who are released from the stove league. Four players, including Kang Jin-sung, Kim Dong-yeop, and Jang Pil-jun, and Oh Sun-jin, died and survived.

Kang Jin-seong is 55 million won, Kim Dong-yeop is 50 million won, Jang Pil-jun is 40 million won, and Oh Sun-jin is 40 million won. In an era of investing billions of won per player, it's a very low salary. However, for players, being able to play active for even one more year can be valuable.

First of all, the purpose is good. Kiwoom is a team with many young prospects. Prospects have no choice but to gather as they grow players and send them to the Major League or run clubs in the form of other teams selling them.

However, it is difficult to survive only with the power of youth to play one season. New and old harmony with experienced players is essential. Kiwoom would not have expected that the players recruited this time would hit 20 to 30 home runs and hold 20 holds. Young players will want to play a supporting role in the process of growing up. Then, if you win the competition and perform similarly to the main players of other teams, it would be 'Awesome'.

As mentioned above, it is hard to call it a bad recruitment because it is not forcing the players to play, and the players are all laughing at Kiwoom's call. However, signing a one-year small contract also means that they don't know what their fate will be like after a season. In a cool way, it is based on the premise that they can be recruited as an insurance card and separated at any time.

From another professional point of view, other teams live in words such as 'recruitment competition' and 'overpay' to bring in good players, and Kiwoom has only news that good players get out every time and collect players that are released like this, so it may be a scene where they have to lead the team, but it may be exhausting for fans. With last place for two consecutive years, it is difficult to give fans great hope next season.




For example, the Samsung Lions signed a total of KRW 2.6 billion FA contract to protect Ryu Ji-hyuk a day ago, but Kiwoom brought four players in the total of KRW 185 million, which makes a big difference.

In the end, the key will be what kind of performance these players will perform next year. If Kiwoom plays more than a ransom and saves the atmosphere of Kiwoom, which is considered to be in a slump, this line recruitment can be evaluated as a `God's move.'
