They used to scout heavily in asia and signed a bunch of minor leaguers like sun woo kim, seung song, jin ho choo, sang lee, tomo ohka.......all guys that really turned out to be nothing.
The deal Ashworth got from the Seahawks was a five-year, $13 million deal. Ashworth will receive $4.5 million in the first year in a combination of bonuses and salary. Thats alittle too pricey for a guy that I believe would have been a backup this year.
Its prove against bigger stronger players that he can't handle the pressure. LSU was a bigger more athletic team much like what the players in the NBA are like.
LSU lacks discipline but they have basically taken Duke out of their game without their two best players on the bench for a good part of the first half.
Tom Ashworth signs with the Seahawks.

Also in this link it says the Pats are close to bringing back both Troy Brown and Stephen Neal.
