Personally, I love Matsui. I think he is one of the truest baseball players around. And I’d be looking at him as a first base option (considering he said was open to it) rather than trading him away in the event we signed Manny (whom I only would approve of if it was strictly as the DH).

LF – Damon
SS – Jeter
3B – Rodriguez
DH – Ramirez
1B – Matsui
C – Posada
RF – Nady
2B – Cano
CF – Swisher/Gardner/Melky

That would seem to be a better plan than just dropping Matsui.

Has no one seen my detailed payroll calcuations? If the Yankees want to reduce payroll from last year, they’re not signing Manny or Teixeira.

Or am I missing something?

Manny or Tex has to hit in front of ARod, ala Ortiz/Manny… ARod can use the help; Manny could hit anything thrown at him. If making the moves, gotta keep Damon, just because he also keeps the locker room loose and he likes Manny too.

why not get tex and manny? trade damon and matsui for a bag of balls, forget about cameron. with that lineup gardner/melky would be fine
