MESA, Ariz. -- Kosuke Fukudome often finds himself in the same hitting group with first baseman Derrek Lee during live batting practice.
When they're finished, they walk off the field together and appear to be conversing in some way.
So are they developing a bond?
"I'm not sure," Fukudome said, laughing. "Derrek talks to me in English, so I'm not quite sure."
When informed Lee is a good guy, Fukudome replied, in perfect English: "I know."
