Fukudome To The Indians

[cwells46]

For two prospects and the Cubs are picking up a huge chunk of the bill....Should be done by gametime according to Olney

He's had his moments but I have to say im glad to see him go. Can't wait to see who we got for him. Now to find some suckers for Soriano

I really don't get this, Cubs fans please explain. HOW DOES FUKUDOME HAVE 13 RBIS IN 293 AT BATS? I've never seen anything like that. He's on pace for 20 RBI's in 500 AT BATS. It's not like hes batting .150, he's batting .273. This is unreal looking at his stats. He's batting .311 with runners in scoring position... HOW? Chone Figgins is the worst player in baseball and batting .180 with 1 HR and he has 15 RBI's and hes batting .131 with runners in scoring position.

Explain, this baffles me!

No one getting on base in front of him. Proves why RBI fails as a stat.

Yep. Plus he doesn't have any power. OBP is higher than his SLG.

Not a good trade for Cleveland. Kosuke starts on fire every year and then fades in the second half. If you are going to trade for him, you do it before the season.

 

[nosterbor]

glad to see him go. NOW if we can get rid of marmol

And who's in their outfield? Not Sizemore or Choo..

 

[Pine Tar]

Goodbye Fukadome and hello Kipins :lol: He is from Evanston IL and Since the Cubs are eating most of what is owed to this guy.

Ok a guy can dream can't he

 

[RL24]

The only thing I can think of is this: Jersey sales must be really down this year for the Tribe. I can't wait the buy a Fukudome jersey. I've always wanted one, but you know... Cubs.

It's funny because the Cubs are pretty much the biggest suckers.

 

[CubsFan13]

One name can be scratched off the list!

[strike:3czo2vyz]Fukudome[/strike:3czo2vyz]
Marmol
Zambrano
Soriano

 

[19braves77]

Going to guess that the prospects are Levon Washington and Kyle Blair.

Some dude said it was Abner Abreu and Carlton Smith.

[strike:1fcnt8pe]Fukudome[/strike:1fcnt8pe]
Marmol
Zambrano
Soriano

and Ramirez and Pena to that list. neither is coming back next season and you can get value for both.

also don't understand why people keep saying Zambrano.
he is pitching well, and Cubs would have to pay a TON of salary to move him.

If you have to pay him...pitch him

If you compare him to the rest of the Cubs starting rotation then yes, he is pitching well :lol:
A 4.59 era doesnt cut the chili when you are pitching for a team that is lucky to score 5 runs in a three game span.

 

[cwells46]

Abner and Smith it is :lol:

 

[MacK]

Abner and Smith it is :lol:

Nice call, random dude on the MLBTR forum who makes me look a little smarter!

Abner's supposedly got good potential, but I haven't seen him play. I think the Indians named him their minor league player of the week last week, though. I've seen Smith pitch quite a few times. It's painful when they bring him in since he takes forever between pitches. He's also prone to be wild and doesn't seem real dominant. I'm not too sad to see him go!
