In the Cubs Centennial year since winning a World Series they have managed to sign Kosuke Fukudome! He's a lefty, will play right field, wears jersey number "1", and has a .305 career batting average. Could this be our year?
CHICAGO -- The Cubs' patience paid off. Japanese outfielder Kosuke Fukudome has agreed to terms on a four-year deal with the team, pending his passing a physical.
Sources confirmed the contract Tuesday night, which would run through 2011, and was believed to be worth $48 million. The highly sought outfielder had announced his intention to come to the U.S. and the Major Leagues early Tuesday, and had several teams to chose from, including the Cubs, San Diego Padres, Chicago White Sox, San Francisco Giants and Texas Rangers.
Oh and according to bleedcubbieblue it's pronounced: "koh-skay foo-koo-DOUGH-may"
