The 26-man roster of Park Hyo-joon (28), who is aiming to return to the Major League, is also being gradually revealed. However, his name has yet to be discovered.
Ahead of this season, Park signed a minor contract with Oakland and joined the Major League spring camp as an invited player. Although Park is a minor player, he can join the Major League roster, depending on his performance in the spring camp. It is difficult but not impossible, as it can be likened to a camel piercing a needle hole.
Choi Ji-man (33. New York Mets) is a good example. Like Park Hyo-joon, Choi signed a minor contract with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2018 and joined the Major League spring camp as an invited player. At the time, Choi played in a total of 25 games, recording an outstanding batting average of 0.409 with three homers and 10 RBIs. His on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) was as high as 1.245. Everyone said no, but Choi proved his worth and skills at the spring camp, and was able to put his name on the roster for the opening game.
Watching Park's performance this year naturally reminds me of Choi Ji-man in 2018. As of Wednesday, Park played in 22 games at this year's spring camp, recording a batting average of 0.488, one home run, nine RBIs and two steals. His OPS is also outstanding at 1.163. A number of Oakland media, including the Major League's website (MLB.com ), are mentioning the possibility of Park's 26-member roster for the opening game, but no media has put his name on the list yet.
In fact, Park Hyo-joon's name was not seen in Oakland's "Expected roster of 26 people before the opening game" announced by MLB.com on the 26th.
Park Hyo-joon, who can cover multiple positions in the outfield and infield, is currently competing for the position of utility man among bench members in Oakland. Among the 26 players in the opening match, 13 fielders will be fielders. Among them, there are approximately four bench members including utility men.
MLB.com picked Darrell Hernandez (23) and Abraham Toro (28) as players who will join the opening game roster as utility men among Oakland's bench members. With no experience in the big leagues, Hernandez played in a total of 20 games this spring camp, recording a batting average of 0.306 with six RBIs and one stolen base. His OPS is only 0.660. He lags far behind Park Hyo-joon.
However, the team announced on Tuesday that it would include Hernandez on its opening roster. Marking 22 years and 238 days as of the opening day, he has become the youngest player to join the team since 2010. The previous record was held by pitcher Brett Anderson (36. Milwaukee Brewers) at the age of 22 years and 63 days.
Park is now competing with Toro for the last spot on the utility man roster due to the joining of Hurnace. The problem is that Toro is also doing well in this spring camp compared to Park. Moreover, Toro has far more experience (271 games) than Park's (68 games) in playing in the big leagues.
As of Tuesday, Toro played in 19 games during this year's spring camp, recording a batting average of 0.364 with one homer and nine RBIs. His OPS is also good at 0.939. Although he is lagging behind Park, he is as good as any other player. Moreover, Toro has one very important thing that Park does not have. This is the difference in his status as he is included in the 40-man roster.
Oakland can call up Toro to the Major League at any time. He is a player who is included in the 40-man roster. However, Park is a non-Roster Invitee who is not on the roster. Therefore, if Oakland is to include Park on the opening roster, it must release one of its 40-man roster and put him in the position. This means that in order to use Park, it must discard one of its 40-man roster.
He has a batting average of .400 with hard hits every day at the spring camp, but even with three days before the opening game, no news of Park Hyo-joon's joining the opening game roster has been heard. For Oakland, a representative small market club with a thin player base, concerns are inevitable.
In the worst case scenario, it is also possible to choose Toro instead of Park Hyo-joon as the opening member and play the opening game while protecting all the players on the 40-man roster. In particular, if Park Hyo-joon does not have the "opt-out" right to invalidate his current contract with Oakland and become a free agent again, the possibility of this scenario is greater.
First baseman Daniel Vogelback (32), who signed a minor contract with Toronto earlier this year, was sluggish with a batting average of 0.243 with three homers and five RBIs in 14 spring camps, but due to the team's lack of left-handed hitters, he was happy to be included in the opening game roster. On the other hand, Mark Vientos (25), a promising player in the New York Mets infield, failed to enter the opening game roster due to the recruitment of J. D. Martinez (37), a slugger, even though he recorded better performance than Vogelback with a batting average of 0.232 and five homers and nine RBIs in 19 spring camps this year.
As in the case of Vogelback and Vientos, if one wants to enter the Major League, one needs to help one's surroundings as well as one's skills. Fans are paying keen attention to how Park Hyo-joon's efforts to return to the Major League after two years will bear fruit.
