[...] I know it’s just one game and the most important thing is that Fukudome silenced his critics, including myself, who wrote him off as just as imported gimmick to further sell the MLB game in [...]

I don’t know what piece of crap team(White(Sox)Trash or the Rube-Goober State of Misery Cardinals) you root for. Neither team will sniff the playoffs this year. Daryl Kile…..dead….Josh Hancock…dead….chances of Cardinal or Sox fans having any class or a proper haircut or all of their teeth….dead.

That’s the very first thing I thought about when I saw his name, GoBrewers. I’d be willing to bet Harry Caray would have a field day with that name had he been around for this!

How is .288/21/81 Jones numbers? His projected SLG is .504, which is phenomenal for a #2 hitter (which is what he will be). And you forgot to mention his OBP is projected to be .401, which is what we signed him for. He was an on base machine in Japan.

Now, I’m not going to act like this is some amazing signing, because I’ve never watched Fukudome outside of the WBC. But it’s certainly a good one, looking at all the teams who were after him. 12M for one of the most sought after free agents in this market is great.

A fun little tid-bit: The White Sox offered Fukudome 14M per year, but was spurned for lesser money to play for the Cubs. Good stuff.
