It's offical, Fuku to Cleveland. Quite the signing that turned out to be.

 

Thank you Jermaine Dye, Shingo & Iguchi for forcing Fuku to turn down the Sox higher offer and sign with North Siders.

To be honest, I would have liked his OBP on the Sox.

Maybe not for $12 million though. (Although that's about what Dunn is making for OBP and little else)

 

Yeah the Sox I think offered him 14 million. That would have given us another high priced guy to b**** about and another one to add to the fire Walker list.

BTW, I really don't see why Cleveland needed him. They need some arms.

 

They definitely needed him. Sizemore & Choo are still out for several weeks. Michael Brantley is decent. Then who do they have in the OF? Travis Buck? Ezequiel Carrera? Austin Kearns?

That's all right Rudy will fix him!

 

Funny how I see both Chicago team mirror each other in hitting. Poor plate discipline and they all shut down at once. At least the Cubs tried a new but highly though of hitting coach to produce the same results. I always thought if the Sox had Big Z, he could be used as a pinch hitter. He likes to work on his hitting. Maybe they need that kind of inspiration.,

Entertaining 5th inning in this Cubs/Cardinals game.

Quade kept arguing Holliday's clean, legal takeout slide until he got tossed.

Guess he wanted to take a shower rather than watching the collapse.

So are the Cubs going to get draft picks if Pena leaves after this season? I have no idea what they're doing with regards to not trading away anyone they can.

If they offer him arbitration he might still be type B, I dunno. Would you offer him arbitration and risk having him accept?
