The Padres are pursuing Kosuke Fukudome with the idea that he could handle center field in Petco, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

 

Seems like a stretch, as most teams in smaller ballparks are viewing him as a corner outfielder. If Fukudome could handle center, his bat could make him as $13 million-$15 million per year player. The Giants, Cubs and White Sox are also believed to be interested, though it's unclear if the White Sox are still targeting him after picking up Carlos Quentin.

Levine was just on the radio and claimed that the Padres have offered $40/4 for Kosuke.

 

I predicted $40/3 and I'll stand by that.

I'd imagine San Diego has a larger Japanese community than Chicago?

 

*I'm not from anywhere near either place, so that is just a guess if someone would like to educate me on it.

Cali has 394k Japanese-American, Illinois with less than 28k.

~ 24,000 in San Diego County vs. ~ 23,000 in Cook, DuPage, Lake, Will, Kane and McHenry Counties (~17,000 in Cook County).

k? So since you're using the metric system, and Cali is bigger than Illinois....once you convert it to standard....then Illinois has 5 gallons more per square mile?
