Do you think Fukudome is going to leave Japan?

Question

No word yet on whether Kosuke Fukudome is going to come to the MLB. Do you think he will?

Answer 1

he'll come here.
hopefully to Wrigley field.

Answer 2

I think the dollar amount totaled last year spent on Dice-K (total $103Million) between the Red Sox and the Seibu Lions really sparked financial opportunity and great interest amongst the Japenese players. Long story short, I do think Kosuke Fukudome will cross over seas and come to the U.S. and play in the MLB.

Answer 3

The hot buzz a while back was that the Cubs were going after Kaz Matsui, in order to lure Fukudome to Wrigley. Since that deal fell through I would imagine that if he does decide to come to MLB that he's going to play where there is a Japanese fellow teammate. Seattle is one possibility with Ichiro still there and possible Houston, though I don't think they need a 31 year old in that outfield. Being a left handed power hitter, he would have fit nicely in Wrigley, but I doubt that will happen now.

SI.com quoted him as follows:
"I'd like to see what kind of interest I get," he said. "We'll see where this goes" regarding his declaration for free agency.

Answer 4

He said he was coming to the US to play MLB and I believe it will be with the Mariners or Cubs. He is an outfielder that has some power and could be about the equivalent of Hideki Matusi. The only downside is that he will be 31 years old when the season starts but still should have several good years left in him.

Answer 5

talking as a eastern-born and raised American (and as a result familiar with the two sides of the equation), you're an fool. enable me reiterate: you're an entire fool. (a million) the biggest American foreign places militia installations are nevertheless in Germany. (2) Japan and america have a protection %., the place america assumes the burden of shielding Japan in substitute for Japan's adoption and upkeep of a pacifist shape (re: Article 9). (3) Japan is a sovereign united states of america with finished representation interior the United international locations and a member of the G7 team of countries. (4) america has provided on dissimilar activities to attraction to down their forces, and those setting up closures and removal of instruments have been negotiated in solid faith. as much as now, there at the instant are not any floor attempt against instruments of the army stationed in Japan desirable, those having been bumped off (1st SFG(A)'s 1st BN in Okinawa an exception). (5) Japan isn't a terrorist united states of america. Japan does not have a militia able to sustained offensive operations, nor does it have lively intelligence agencies focusing on covert action. (6) The North Korea subject has been contemporary because of the fact the 50s. eastern voters have been abducted because of the fact the 60s by potential of North Korean protection amenities. A state of de facto conflict exists between Japan and North Korea. that is not "very new". that is only your incomplete worldview being slapped unsleeping by potential of reporting on the foremost information amenities in the previous couple of years that makes it "very new" for the likes of you. you're an entire and finished fool who does insult to the two america and the non violent human beings of Japan. in case you lack intelligence, have the decency to stay quiet.

Answer 6

It is too soon to know that for sure. But I will leave that up to him, if he wants to leave Japan to come to the United States to play baseball for MLB, but most likely if he does, he will be put in the minors first, before he makes his major league debut.

Answer 7

I'd love to see him play over here.

Answer 8

No I don't think so.

Answer 9

yes , will

Answer 10

i wish he will.
