Can we send Fukudome to the minors?

"Sam Fuld plays with energy and he created a "spark". He needs to be starting tomorrow". :cool:

 

I agree, Todd.

Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back, there.

 

After reading some of the comments about Fuld after I suggested he play, you bet. Nice to hear a respected, ex big leaguer back it up as well.

So is Todd going to be the GM of your super team?

 

I just value his opinion far more than yours.

Let me guess, you only care about his opinion because he's played the game. If you've played in the majors, that gives you wisdom. Just like Joe Morgan.

Oh give me a break. The guy has floated around AAA opsing in the .700's for two or three years now. He's not that good. He had a good game. But since he's a "hustler" and a "gamer" (and, "White") he's suddenly the 'spark' on this team? Give me a break. I'm glad he had a good game, but let's not get carried away here.

 

Carried away? He provided a spark. I never said he was the greatest player in the bigs. It's comical, though, that someone can thoroughly suck as bad as Fukudome has, yet have this over the top love on this board. It's very much like Corey Patterson had it here. And how's Corey doing these days?

Not his fault.

You do realize Fuku hit a HR and had another hit tonight too right?

He was due, no? I mean, after that red hot June and all.

The smilie really sets off the whole post perfectly.

Well actually, his 758 OPS in AAA didn't exactly scream "Call me up!", so yeah, it was kinda his fault. Notice how Fox (and Blanco, and Scales) put up good numbers and got called up a lot earlier.

 

Also, in Scales' first 6 games he had a 1307 OPS. Guess we should have just given him the third base spot "for good" and let Fox rot down in AAA right?

Yes, it is. It's his fault for not being good enough to deserve more.

No, we should just let the overpaid, mediocrity continue to roam the outfield.

:good:

[Rob]

As long as Fukudome is sporting the highest OBP on the team, I think we should give him a chance to work his way out of his slump. It looks like he's gonna be a streaky player... get over it. These ridiculous overreactions make all cubs fans look as crazy as the OP.

And Fukodome, Bradley and Soriano have been? lolol.

Please, someone, link me to any threads this fellow has started.

Please explain to me how overpaid mediocrity is worse than cheap mediocrity? Again, they get paid the same playing or riding the bench.

 

Also, since this thread is about Fukudome, we can talk about how his "mediocre" MAJOR LEAGUE numbers this year are much better than Sam "should be the leadoff hitter for good" Fuld's AAA numbers.

Can I personally attack this guy or no?

Do you not think this team needs a spark? Yes/No?

I don't see why not. He's [expletive] crazy.

How would a bad AAA player provide a spark?

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Where are the mods? These personal attacks are against the rules, right?  :mrgreen:

[SouthSideRyan]

 

How would a bad AAA player provide a spark?

 

By being white and cheap.

And getting on base 3 times and setting the tone as well. Nice job, Sam. Like Hollandsworth said, keep him in the lineup.
