BP projects Cubs to win 95 games - Ace - 02-10-2009
I just want Fukudome to succeed so I can start saying "All your outfielder are belong to us" again.

I won't wear it again in public until he's hitting over .260.
But really, I think he'll have a decent year as well. That projection is absolutely outrageous. Could he do it? Yeah, but I'm certainly not going to bet on it.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I wouldn't bet on it either, it's just a hunch.
Are you watching MLB Net right now?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Not at the moment. I was just watching some of that Baseball episode/inning.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yeah, 5th Inning. It's pretty awesome. "Ducks on the Pond" was first said by Redd Barber.

I haven't worn any of my Fuk tees since last July. I considered buring all of them or donating them to the Salvation Army.

If he becomes a gigantic, epic flop of hilarious proportion... can I have them?

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Nao Masamoto, the video coordinator for the Cubs, visited Fukudome twice this offseason, once in early December and again in January, to check on his workout program. Masamoto's prediction for the Japanese outfielder in 2009?
"I don't think he'll be as good [for the whole season] as what he did last April," Masamoto said Wednesday of Fukudome, "but, overall, he'll do fine and better than what he did last year for sure. There's no doubt in my mind."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Unless he was watching him take a whole lot of BP against major league breaking balls, it means absolutely nothing.

Pecota hitter projections are out. If there's any subscribers or you come across them, please post away. The catcher projections were free, they project a better year out of Soto:
.288./.370/.519, 24 HR, 80 RBI
Last year he was...
.285/.364/.504, 23 HR, 86 RBI
They project this to be his best year of his career actually.
