I have to ask, am I the only one that holds out hope for Fuk? He started off last season good enough that I can't believe he's total crap. New year, platoon situation, it could be just what he needs.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
He started off well enough because nobody had really seen him play. Once the book was out on him, it was pretty much over. Pitchers adjusted to him, and he was completely unable to adjust to the pitching. There was nothing more maddening to me last season than watching him swing and miss to a breaking pitch or slider on the outside corner of the plate while doing that retarded pirouette. If I never see him do that again wearing a Cubs uniform, I wouldn't be disappointed.
