It's been posted before, but http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPPZjtu-eIA -
And you even mentioned his likely uniform number. Capital.
-
:-$ Don't ruin the moment.

It's going to be a little while until I can turn off the habit of refreshing the Transactions forum every 5 minutes.

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r71/bcvm22/sigzeon/Fukudome.gif Here's his name in Japanese (the 4 characters are FUKU DOME KO SUKE, respectively). I'm moderately sure it's accurate. Slap it on banners, t-shirts, flags, bumper stickers, Photoshopped pictures, go crazy.
-
Kosuke is his given name, Fukudome is his family name. He's likely to wear Kosuke on his jersey for the aforementioned reasons.
-
Levine on 1000 and Kaplan on WGN have both confirmed it.
-
He was advised by Alex Ochoa while playing in Japan to wear "KOSUKE" on any possible future MLB uniform, as "FUKUDOME" just might not translate.

Dave Kaplan just reported on 720. 4 years, $50 million. \:D/ \:D/ \:D/
-
Called as in predicted or called as in "confirmed?"
-
Hopefully Kosuke remembered to remind Kaz that they pissed on him in New York because he put up a collective OPS somewhere in the .600s in two and a half seasons there.
-
That's correct. Who wants to wager how many pages of consternation this thread will be before we hear of his chosen destination? I'm calling at least 45.

We've heard that quote before - but this is the first time I've seen that the Pads have a step up on everyone else. (Notice, this is translated from Japanese so the writing is somewhat awkward) Linky The optimist in me says whomever wrote that article just saw the "biggest offer etc." quote and slapped it on there without much knowledge of the context. The pessimist in me says "freaking Padres."
-
Not that this should be at all taken as an indicator that any of the involved parties are at the point where terms are being negotiated... ...right?
-
I see what you did there. (For the record, I was going to post that in Japanese, but apparently the best translation Babelfish could do was "I look at that thing there." :-k)
-
I would very much hope that for $15 mil a season, he's going to put up an OBP better than .280. :wink: That aside, I think that his doubles power will translate well at Wrigley and we'll get at least 15-20 HRs from him.
-
Nope.
-
I'm going as nuts as everyone else is (nuttier, perhaps; I got a great Fukudome banner in the works that I don't want to finish for fear of jinxing things), but it'll happen when it happens. Heck, his agent and his team of choice could be in negotiations right now, but we won't know it until they make it official or "an anonymous source close to the negotiations" leaks it to the media. My money is on us hearing something with tomorrow morning's news reports.

Cubs After Blanton?

That's awesome. :lol: "Clearly you are new here." -
That would be entirely dependent upon the Cubs, I'd think, since they would be the ones to try and work out a broadcast deal for certain games in Japan and/or get Japanese advertisers to buy adspace at Wrigley.
-
No "quotes from the player," get ready for his agent to say the report was premature once the morning comes around. :|

That's just his frighteningly Shemp-like hair. -

Starting QB 1993-1995 -
His agent isn't expecting to hear from him until some time after a half hour from now (10 PM). I'd be shocked if that actually translated to a news story screaming over the wire right at 10 PM or even within spitting distance of the hour.
