2005 Fantasy Outlook
Koo, a Korean who's pitched in Japan for the last four seasons, signed with the Mets this offseason. A 35-year-old lefty, he went 6-8, with a 4.32 ERA in 18 starts for Orix in 2004, with a 1.28 WHIP and 99/44 K/BB ratio in 116.2 IP. He allowed 24 HR, however, which is a lot for a workload of that size. He'll likely wind up in a swingman or long-relief role, which will limit his roto impact.
