Fukodome?
Kosuke Fukodome was released by Chicago. He hasn't done much of anything this year, but he was hurt for a bit. He's a lefty with a career .260/.366/.402 line against RHP and he owns an overall career OBP of .359. Is there room on the roster for him? He's 34 but fits the mold of what we've been looking for, at least as a stop gap until we can make any moves at the deadline.

Re: Fukodome?
I say bring him in, put him at AAA. If he gets it together then bring him up after the All-Star break. Say goodbye to Cairo, his bat looks dead...Frazier/ Valdez can handle backing up the IF spots. He could serve as strictly part time platoon guy against tough RHP and a LH bat off the bench. Cairo RH bat is a last resort with what we currently have imho.

Re: Fukodome?
I'd be OK with signing him and assigning him to Louisville.

Re: Fukodome?
Agreed! Really need some lefty hitting bench help. Do you have to pick up too much salary, or the minimum?
