Come on Spring training

So what so good about This New Japanese Player?

From all reports, he's likely to be a J.D. Drew/Bobby Abreu type player. .300 average, .400 OBP, 20 homers, 10-15 steals.

I heard him described as cross between ichiro suzuki and hideki matsui.

i found that description odd as they are very different styles of hitting.

I heard that too, but I don't see how .295/.371/.495 + .333/.379/.437 = .300/.400/.500.

im just happy that they are spelling his name fukudome instead of fukodome

If he's the new JD Drew I'm going to avoid the Christmas rush and start hating his guts now.

They're talking strictly statistically - not regarding attitude, health, etc.
