Chicago Cubs imported outfielder, Kosuke Fukudome has really enjoyed his first week playing Major League Baseball. So have fantasy baseball GM’s who own him. After seven games he’s batting .458/..581/.708 with a home run, six RBI, six runs scored and two stolen bases. All of this has been done with Fukudome hitting in the #5 spot on the lineup. Now, manager Lou Pinella wants to shake up the lineup and move Fukudome to the #2 spot.
When asked about a possible switch for Wednesday, he said, “We’re going to look at it. Remember, spring training we hit Fukudome second against the left. Well, we left it just the way it was [today with Fukudome fifth]. But we’ll take a look at it and see what it looks like [with him batting second]. We haven’t faced left-hand pitching yet. We’ll see. We can adjust if we need to.”
This isn’t supposed to be a permanent switch. It’s only going to be against left handed pitchers right now. However, if it does become a more regular event, expect Fukudome’s stolen bases and RBI to drop and his runs scored to increase.
