And why wouldn't he be -- last time he was there he almost blew the World Series for the Diamondbacks if the Unit, Schilling, and Gonzo's blooper hadn't bailed him out. But since given the news on Friday evening that he would be moved to the bullpen, BK Kim has not been happy about it -- complaining that the move wasn't fair. The Rockies official site reports Kim thinks he's being jobbed
"It seems to me this spring is a little bit weird," Kim said. "They say, 'Try this.' 'Try changeup, inside two-seamers.' Then, 'You're OK. If you give up hits, home runs, they don't count.' Then now
...
"It's not right, I think. If they say, 'Competition, do this,' I don't do any 'try.' It's not right. Hopefully, I've talked to my agent, and I'll see. They're trying to [trade Kim] and they're going to find something. I don't know. Hopefully."
Seems to me that the Rockies already had their plans for the rotation and Kim really didn't fit in. And that definitely sucks for Kim if they asked him to try new pitches and then used it against him. But just like he's asking for -- a trade at this point looks like it would serve both parties well. Kim has a poor track record in the pen and he at least has some value in the trade market.
