BK Files for Free Agent

11-02-2005
Kim Byung-hyun of the Colorado Rockies filed for free agency on Monday.
The 26-year-old sidearmer pitched in 40 games, over 148 innings, to a record of 5-12 with 4.86 ERA, displaying decent starting performances for a player based at Coors Field, one of the least favorable ballparks for pitchers.
Kim, former Arizona Diamondbacks closer, is the sole South Korean Major Leaguer who played in the World Series in 2001 with the Diamondbacks as they won the champions' title. He also played with the Boston Red Sox as they became the champions last year but wasn't included in the World Series roster.
Kim is one of several players who filed for free agency on the same day. They include Baltimore Orioles slugger Sammy Sosa, Atlanta Braves shortstop Rafael Furcal and relief pitcher Kyle Farnsworth, as well as Jose Vizcaino of the National League's champion Houston Astros, Boston Red Sox pitcher Mike Myers, Detroit Tigers outfielder Bobby Higginson and Dan Wilson, a Seattle Mariners catcher.
