So they're basing Fuk's numbers on how he did in Japan (where he kicked ass), and his <i>total</i> numbers from last year.
If a Japanese import pitcher goes 10-1 in his first half season, then goes 1-10 in the second half (and looks absolutely terrible doing it), would you project him as a .500 pitcher again the following year?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Again, what's your projection for Fuk?

Still waiting...

I'm not KB, but I anticipate something like .255/.335/.415.
I don't expect him to see a whole lot of playing time because he's going to suck right out of the gates and Lou will bench him.

Fair enough. Now if someone else would show some stones and throw a prediction out there it might look better than him just scoffing at others.
