About the Toaster
Baseball Toaster runs on some experimental software called Fairpole. It's still under development.
For more information, please visit the Fairpole blog, or read the FAQ.
Adding Brian Roberts would be GREAT.
I am getting worried with this Fukudome guy, I just don't see a solid argument suggesting he can be an Ichiro-type. Look at his youtube clips, his swing is way too long, walks a lot but also strikes out a lot, Sam Fuld has more similarity to Ichiro and I'm not even kidding... I am terrified to admit that Fukudome looks more like Iwamura.
And those who compare Fukudome with Hideki Matsui will be very disappointed when comparing their numbers in Japan. Godzilla was just SICK over there, and that has translated into an "above-average" offensive player.
Fukudome looks like a "slightly-above average" MLB player at best not sure the Cubs can't do better giving the job to Matt Murton.
