Numbers Breakdown: Kosuke of 2008 VS Kosuke of 2009

In 2008, the main disappointment of the Chicago Cubs season was newly sign Japanese outfielder Kosuke Fukdume, who didn't live up to the expectations. This year, Kosuke struggles were not talked about near as much because the Cubs had bigger problems. However, did Kosuke do better in 2009 than 2008? Let's take a look at our numbers, in our first Numbers Breakdown of the 2009-2010 offseason!

Check out our Google Spreadsheet that includes a graph of Kouske's numbers!

SLG%

2009- .421

Fielding %:
2008- .981
2009-.994
Point 2009

So this year did Kosuke did do a little better, but really not that much. All the areas were close, and some 2008 even won. The only reason Fukudome's struggles did not receive the same attention in 2009 was because most of the other Cubs hitters were producing even less that he was!

And remember...
The numbers don't lie!
