I’ll take Fukudome over Alou any day. Even if he costs twice as much (which he won’t) and demand a 3-year contract … as long as they do their homework on his makeup and health,

An outfield of Beltra/Fukudome/Milledge or Gomez would be ideal. I cringe at the thought of Alou for another year with his slow defense and his 1/2 season or more spent on the DL.

Yes….I am very excited to hear what Bobby V thinks….

Well after his endorsement of Kaz, and his trip to CT to see Mo Vaughn hit in a batting cage (it wasn’t just Phillips like everyone likes to believe)….I am interested in anything this man has to say.

More importantly, what does Bobby V think of him? He’s MLBs Japanese Advance Scout, isn’t he?

I don’t want any Japanese position players here… Unless it’s Ichiro, I don’t want them.

He prefers to go by “Kosuke”.

I think he would succeed.

I’d rather get pitching for Milledge

Not sold on any Japanese player not named Ichiro….knowing the Mets luck, this guy will be Kaz Matsui, Queens version, part II…

yea seriously no thank you, if we take on a guy thats gonna strike out 100+ times he better be a slugger not someone who will arguably put up worse numbers than milledge.

Meh.

Don’t need him.

Don’t want him.

He can take his .278/12/72 somewhere else.

Just wait until Jon Miller announces it and you’ll see how cool it really is.

“FUK – u – doME up at bat now.” Followed by bel-TRON

And yes, I know he pronounces the names correctly….he just over-exaggerates the syllables so he sounds amusing to me.
