4yr/$50M sounds like a really good deal to me and I'm not even a Cubs fan!

 

You would have to think at least $10-$20M of that makes its way back to the Cubs just from merchandise etc.

Somebody pinch me.

 

1908 and Abuck with a positive post in the same thread. All that is needed now is Goony (jersey) to make this complete.

 

Nice.

 

Awesome, well done Raw.

Wow this thread sure has a lot of browsers. I heard he has a canon for an arm. Is that true? How fast is he?

 

If Navin hadn't locked the other thread, we'd be able to quote previous replies showing he has a great arm.

 

Some of us can still quote it.

 

Has anyone seen this video of Fukudome before?

Please do not call him the Japanese Matt Murton

 

You're basically doing this right now:

Starting tomorrow, merchandise sales will skyrocket.

 

Vance will be the first one in line for a new Kosuke jersey.

There's a video of him in the last Kfuk thread in the last couple pages that shows him throwing out a runner at 1b from RF. He has an absolute cannon.

 

I heard his cannon arm is so devastating he could throw a strike to home plate and the catcher still get the guy out at first on a similar sequence.

Now that Kendall and Barrett are gone, that is a possibility.

From the FoxSports link:

The deal, first reported by WGN Radio in Chicago, is expected to be for approximately $12 million per season, sources said.

 

4/48?

If I get a ridiculously awesome British accent out of this, I'm cool with it.
