OK, so Fukudome has been on fire thus far into the young season. Going into this year, most experts were predicting solid defense, a decent average, lots of walks, and 15-20 home runs with some steals out of the right fielder.
So what are your impressions thus far of the Japanese import? So far, he looks just like what most of the experts expected of him: Patient with some gap power. He's clearly going to regress as the season continues onward, my prediction:
.290/.380/.460 with 15 home runs and 10 SBs. This line would make him one of the better right fielders in baseball but likely, given his hot start disappoint many Cubs fans.
