Fukumori Aims For Comeback

by Patrick Newman (Jan 22, 2009)

Disappointing Texas Rangers reliever Kazuo Fukumori is aiming for a comeback in 2009. "In the state that I'm in now, I won't get a contract to play anywhere next year. I want to be promoted to the majors, and then attract calls from Japanese baseball too next offseason," Fukumori was quoted as saying in Sports Hochi. Fukumori put up an ugly 5.48 era in AAA last year, but also suffered from a herniated disk which he had operated on in October. He says he isn't feeling any discomfort at this point, but will still start spring training in the Rangers' minor league camp.
