Levine: Fukudome a Cub (was Kosuke coming to U.S.)

[nilodnayr]

Aaaand now ESPN just posted this:

 

Fukudome to decide tonight...

 

Free agent outfielder Kosuke Fukudome plans to announce late Monday night U.S. time whether he will play in Japan in 2008 or pursue one of several offers from Major League Baseball clubs, his agent told ESPN.com.

 

...

 

"If the report was accurate, you would have seen quotes from the player or the [Yomiuri] club," Urbon said. "He hasn't made up his mind yet. When he does make up his mind, the first point of communication will be to the clubs in Japan."

 

Damn..I'll be in my bowling league...Now I won't know and will be bowling like crap with this on my mind

 

I'm bowling tonite too. I'm gonna be wearing my cubs scarf for good luck tonite. Luck on Fukudome I mean. I don't care how I bowl. :D

 

Bowling wearing a scarf? God I hope you don't get too close to the ball return.

It seems to me he's jerking around with his decision. It's obnoxious. Especially for someone with no patience.

 

I don't see it quite that way. It's a pretty big decision to go to the states to work. It makes sense to me that he wanted to wait until things got rolling at the winter meetings, then receive offers and finally accept a deal. The winter meetings caused a lot of people's cards to be exposed. There was talk of a 3/24-27m deal getting it done not too long ago. Over the past two weeks it's risen past the $10m per range to $13-15m per, and possible backend options or longer term deals. I don't see it as jerking around. I see it as building a market and bidding war that increases his value.

 

At least he's not waiting until Feb ala Maddux.

 

Yeah, that is jerking around.

This is idiotic. Make your damn mind up already.

 

I already don't like this guy.

 

I think I read somewhere that he thinks soccer is dumb.

 

Fascist.
