Cubs.com： Sources confirmed the contract Tuesday night, which would run through 2011, and was believed to be worth $48 million. Fukudome was not expected to come to Chicago until next week to undergo a physical, a source said. The Cubs are looking for a left-handed-hitting outfielder to take over right field and balance their right-handed lineup. 面對年初就有的左打、高OBP、外野好守一籮筐問題，福留是答案。 http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20071211&content_id=2323241&vkey=news_chc&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc&partnered=rss_chc Bruce Miles（我愛死這個傢伙了，挖了很多Cubbie乳摸，還有fun quotes ;) ）： The deal is believed to be worth slightly less than $50 million total. "He's a Cub, he's a Cub," said Hendry, who sounded as relieved as he did happy after the long pursuit of Fukudome finally ended. When Opening Day rolls around March 31 at Wrigley Field, look for Fukudome to be decked out in uniform No. 1. "He answers so many questions for us," Hendry said. "He's left-handed. He has a high on-base percentage. He's a great defender with a great arm. He can steal bases. He can hit anywhere in the lineup -- three, two or five." 簡單講，大叔很興奮。 http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=93689&src=152 個人以為：48M/4yrs像是個底限。Hendry從來在取得大角色上不愁沒錢花， 但是接下來爭取交易O's的Roberts會用到什麼price，值得注意。 其實Hendry變聰明了。用Jones外野廢砲-->Infantes內野工具人-->Asconia中繼投手 是個fair move through fair trade。此彼沒有球團吃虧。 我還是不期望Hendry可以像2003那年那樣lucky，從窮人家的Pirates以及Marlins 那裡交易到A-Ram以及Lee兩位快free agent眼見馬上水漲船高窮人家付不起的選手。 但是plan A用稍稍用力的committment達到了（high pay, he comes）， 我想知道接下來Hendry的plan B會不會省一點，因為我實在不想看到 2009年Wrigley門票漲價太多... --
