"I don't need an Interpreter, my Bat does the talking."

2008-01-24T14:43:00.000-06:00

It's that time of winter again to begin talking about how the Cubs are going to do next season. Instead of the usual "rebuilding" talk that goes around this time of year, the mood is fairly positive in Cubdom. A lot of this is due to the addition of Japanese phenom Kosuke Fukudome. His career stats speak for themselves (see site below) and will provide a much needed boost to this beleaguered Cubs team. The addition of former Cub Jon Leiber will provide much needed pitching experience and leadership that the team has been lacking since Greg Maddux left. It's still too early to celebrate the off-season trades the Cubs have made, but let's hope Fukudome's bat does some serious talking for us at Wrigley this year.
