SP Johnny Cueto, CIN

SP Clay Buchholz, BOS

SP Shaun Marcum, TOR

RP Joba Chamberlain, NYY

C Geovany Soto, CHC

1B James Loney, LAD

2B Aaron Hill, TOR

3B Evan Longoria, TB

SS Yunel Escobar, ATL

OF Jacoby Ellsbury, BOS

OF Kosuke Fukudome, CHC

Well, it was close, but Kosuke Fukudome takes the prize!

Kosuke was still available as spring training ended in several leagues. His numbers were not quite what owners were hoping for during spring training and therefore many opted for more proven players – but once the regular season got underway Fukudome turned it up a knotch.

He only parked one homerun, but batted .326 for the month of April while stealing 3 bases, netting 32 hits and walking 19 times, giving him an OBP of .436! Keep in mind – this is the very 1st time he’s ever seen National League pitchers, and he’s still getting assimilated to North American culture – so there’s no telling what he might do for an encore!

Congrats Kosuke! – You are WaiverSharks Megalodon of the Month for April 2008!
