I was gonna post that I don't see a hole in Fukudome's swing, than Danksy K's him on 3 pitches.

he's a very solid player, but he was probably a little overated after his hot start. Please don't get me wrong though, he will contribute at well above average, but the early hype was over the top. His OPS+ now is at 117, that's probably about what he'll average, maybe a touch higher

To shorten that- he's not worth $15 a year or whatever he's makin'.

Fukodome is a really poor man's Ichiro. He is not nearly the hitter. I think teams will learn to get him out at a greater clip. In three years Ramirez will prove to be a better pick-up for the Sox.

He is basically Jermaine Dye right now with some OBP-SLG tradeoff. And that's not a bad thing.

Alexei struck out, BA grounded out. Quickly 2 out.

 

I used to be in the camp that thought Anderson gets a bum rap and needs more playing time on a team that wants him. Now I am not sure I want to see him play more or even want him. Great D but some really ugly at bats.

I'm in the exactly same boat sir.
