TAIWAN CHAMPIONS RE-SIGN KAO FOR 2009

The defending Chinese Professional Baseball League champion Uni-President Lions have signed first baseman Kao Kuo-ching to a one-year contract that will make him one of the highest-paid hitters in Taiwan. Kao will make the equivalent of $10,400US per month.
The 30-year-old Kao batted .332 with seven homers for the Lions last season following a 2007 campaign in which he was named the league’s Most Valuable Player after hitting .358 with 20 homers and 89 RBIs. He helped lead the Lions to a first place finish in the regular season with a 67-33 record before defeating the Brother Elephants in the Taiwan Series.
