Our View: The Cubs were woeful defensively in the outfield last season, and while Fukudome is a solid defender, he is better suited to right, and not center. The team will now pursue a center fielder on the free agent market. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Kosuke_Fukudome/631518 631518 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 9:24:01 EDT fanball.com 14 days 1 hours 44 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Kosuke_Fukudome/631518 The Chicago Tribune's Paul Sullivan reports the Chicago Cubs plan to move OF Kosuke Fukudome back to right field next season, which means they are in the market for a center fielder. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Kosuke_Fukudome/631496 631496 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 9:04:01 EDT kffl.com 14 days 2 hours 4 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Kosuke_Fukudome/631496 In a report in today’s Chicago Tribune, Paul Sullivan says that while both Rich Harden and Reed Johnson would like to remain with the Cubs, their return appears to be unlikely.Sullivan says that Harden’s injury history makes signing a long term deal with the Cubs unlikely, and considering the Cubs want to move Kosuke Fukudome [...] http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Kosuke_Fukudome/627135 627135 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 8:56:02 EDT Mets Blog 16 days 2 hours 12 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Kosuke_Fukudome/627135 Fukudome’s sophomore season was a virtual mirror image of his rookie campaign in every major offensive category. Another common thread was his cooling off down the stretch -- he’s batted a combined .193 over the last two Septembers -- something directly attributable to the grind of a longer season than he was accustomed to in the Japanese leagues. Considering his keen batting eye (career .367 on-base percentage) and the fact that he should begin to better adjust to the 162-game slate now that he’s had a few years under his belt, the 32-year-old outfielder should make for a solid pick late in drafts next spring. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Kosuke_Fukudome/619511 619511 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 3:12:12 EDT mlb.com 20 days 7 hours 56 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Kosuke_Fukudome/619511 The Arlington Heights Daily Herald reports Chicago Cubs OF Kosuke Fukudome extended his hitting streak to eight games with a single in the eighth inning of Game 1 of the doubleheader Wednesday, Sept. 30, against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
