While I am not on the ledge
Fukudome needs a rest for a while.
He is a fantastic $12MM defensive specialist, but to come up with men on and RISP, he is simply terrible.
If Lou truly wants to make the team better – give him some time off. He is clueless at the plate and we have three OFers that can hit, regardless of "matchup".

Disagree
I disagree with the Clueless statement. I think he’s been very slow to adapt however to MLB pitching.

very nice.
I’ve noticed he’s been a bit more discerning at the plate. It’s good to see. He’d be ridiculous if he could cut down the strikeouts long term. I literally sudder at the thought of how scary he’d be.
