I'll give you that, he turned out to be ok. But he's way old; not a typical signing you'd see most GM's do.
Edit: And, even though he turned out ok, when he was signed, you can't tell me you weren't like "what the **** is KW thinking?"

I love Pods as much as any true black-and-white-blooded Sox fan, but he's just horrendous in the field. Him and Pierre are essentially the same player. I don't want another Pierre in the outfield.
I won't let my love for him cloud my thinking.
BUT...
He is exactly the kind of player KW would go after.

Pretty sure the Sox never signed Griffey or Ramirez, they traded for them. The ones he did sign the past couple of years Andruw Jones, and Vizquel were serviceable for the team.

Fukudome. KW can't help himself. For the money, it's not a bad signing, but still...smh.

There's always a bright side though. He'll take more than three pitches to make an out, most of the time. He'll get on base around .350 or better over the course of the season. And he's a defensive upgrade over whatever you guys already have. But he's also a year older so that last part might no longer be true.

If KW signs Soriano next, I'm quitting basesball.

Definitely improves defensively. I'm not upset with him coming over; it's great value. I just don't understand it.
If the Sox are rebuilding, it doesn't make any sense because why would you make a signing like that?
If they're not rebuilding, how is he going to get the Sox closer to a championship? He is not going to help offensively (an area where the Sox need a lot of help). Sure, he gives depth in the outfield, but that alone is not going to help the Sox win the division.
This is a typical KW move that makes no fucking sense.

It's about as minimum salary of a deal as you can get to try to snag a fraction of a win, which Fukudome should provide in spades. I don't think you should overanalyze it :lol:

It's the "he did bad with the indians" part that I am struggling with more than anything...
