If I get 110 million won, that's it? Now, the real survival is at stake, and there is a way to live

I made a contract. But it's not the end of the contract. A year later, I was in a situation where I didn't know whether to worry about survival again. The only way to impress their presence is to play baseball really intensely this year.
It's about Ha Joo-seok who escaped the crisis of 'FA Mia'. Ha Joo-seok signed an FA contract with Hanwha Eagles on the 8th, adding an option of 20 million won to the guarantee of 90 million won, totaling 110 million won 'Chorahan' for a year.
After his professional debut in 2012, he gained his first career FA qualification by building his career as Hanwha's flagship player, but the timing was too bad. Amid poor performance and frequent rumors, the original team Hanwha brought compatriot Shim Woo-joon for 5 billion won as soon as the FA market opened.
To make matters worse, Ha received a FAB grade. As a reward player occurred, no team expressed interest in him. Sign-and-trade was also unanswered. Still, 'Hanhwa of Loyalty' embraced Ha Joo-seok. Although it is a single year, it is now a situation to be grateful for the contract itself.
The problem is from now on. I'm not going to stop playing baseball for a year. Only when he shows competitiveness can he relieve his sadness this year in next year's salary negotiations.

It's not an easy situation to even put your name on the entry. But you can't just worry. You have to take advantage of your strengths. In the end, it is a blow that Ha Joo-seok can stand out in the competition with his juniors. Before joining the professional league, he is the winner of the 'Lee Young-min Strike Award'. He has punch power for shortstop, so if he plays full-time, he can hit double-digit home runs and hit in the late 20s.
It's time to think about converting to second base or working on the sideline. Ha Joo-seok is now over 30 years old. And he wasn't originally a big, agile style. The defense radius is getting narrower. In some cases, a club considers recruiting him, puts a question mark on the defense itself as a shortstop and takes his foot out.

Of course, this could also be possible depending on how prepared Ha Joo-seok is in the spring camp. Of course, director Kim's intention is also the most important thing.
