We gave CP chance after chance, you give Fuk at least one more chance. The Tigers ate 14 million on Sheffield, but he was 40 years old. Fuk still has a chance to be decent. If he can give us a .270 average with a .360 OBP I really don't care about the power and RBI totals. Now, I know that is not worth the 12 million a year we are paying him, but you do not just dump him after one year.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Run,
I'd give my left nut if fuk put up those numbers.
But he played poorly in the month before the all-star break, sucked after the ASB, sucked in the playoffs, sucked all spring, even sucked in the WBC. The Japanese manager obviously cares about winning, because in the championship game, he made damn sure that Fuk didn't get a single inning or at bat.

The one skill he possessed that was vaguely MLB-ready was fielding, and in his last game he dropped 2 fly balls.

How much more evidence do you need? Does he have to kill a guy?

Your left nut? For those numbers?

Your left nut must not be very dear to you.
