if the Shark can get his breaking pitches over
he will be unbelievable.
The guy clearly is rough on the edges, but he will be terrific. At this level he needs to get more than his fastball over the plate. The hitters are just too good at this level, but he sure looks impressive.

That's usually the case...
...with these fireballers. If a major league hitter is sitting on a heater, the 97 mph really doesn’t matter as much unless he is painting the corners.
I’m not watching the game, but the key always is whether he will have the command of both his pitches to keep guys honest.

The question is "what is his true ability?"
His stats in Japan appeared to be more similar to that of a ~.810-.820 OPS guy in MLB when you consider the stats of guys like the Matsuis and Ichiro. Right now, he’s at .787 OPS, so I’d expect better next year. But I wouldn’t expect a .900 OPS from him.

I'm more than willing to give him time..
I’m just saying that people were expecting a big power .900 OPS guy. Compared to the Matsuis and Ichiro, I thought that was unrealistic. That’s all.
I’m not dissing Fukudome. I’m not writing him off. I’m just saying that I think some people overrated him before the season expecting big power. I think that in reality he’ll wind up somewhere between what he is right now and what people thought before the season.

I don't think he was "overrated" per se
He has been playing in a different part of the world all through his life and is going through an adjustment period. Fukudome has enough baseball smarts to figure what has been going wrong with him and will only comeback strong next year.

my point isn't that he is superior, I said from the beginning (above) that he is
just here for 4-5 days to get a taste of the majors and he needs to work on getting his breaking balls over consistently. But to say “he stinks” was just silly and wrong. One inning, your first in a tight game is not the full body of work in which to judge a guy.
I agree the second inning is not the full body of work either, but it is probably a better showing of his true “body of work.” But to write him off as “he stinks” based on the 7th seemed foolish to me.

DOUBLE FOR JIMMY!
’’If somebody had told me we were going to lose Soriano for eight weeks, lose [Carlos] Zambrano and Kerry Wood for a couple of weeks apiece, and then at the same time lose [Reed] Johnson, and then when we played the American League not have a DH [then-injured Daryle Ward], and be in first place by two games, I’d tell you we were pretty fortunate.’’ Lou Piniella (7/23/08)
