That said, I truly have no idea how Fuk will do this year. Like Clapp is with Soriano, my already bad vibes toward Fuk turned into all-out hatred during last year's playoffs. So that definitely has colored my perception of him, I'm sorry to say.
(btw, compared to your projections, I did lower his OPS 40 points, and his batting avg from a respectable .270 to a bench-worthy .245, so it's not like we had identical projections. Needless to say, I hope and pray that <i>you're</i> right, and I'm wrong.)<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I'm sure that if Fuk could slug 40+ HR and maintain his OBP from last season, he'd be KB's favorite Cub. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

He's Japanese, so he probably has no choice in the matter.
