Comments on: Angels interested in Matsui (UPDATE: ChiSox too) http://riveraveblues.com/2009/12/angels-interested-in-matsui-20950/ A New York Yankees Blog Wed, 15 Feb 2012 00:12:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: adrian http://riveraveblues.com/2009/12/angels-interested-in-matsui-20950/#comment-713133 adrian Thu, 10 Dec 2009 22:19:00 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/?p=20950#comment-713133 It would be great to be able to have Matsui play outfiel though, wouldn't it for the Yankees?He's a great batter in the line-up and then if we got Matsui to do it then we wouldn't have to sign Damon. Personally, I don't want Damon back. He played well, but he's weak defensively and only go those home-runs because of that short right field wall.

You can say "the best I have seen".A person can not say "the best ever" unless they have seen it all. Statements like "The Greatest Manager Who Ever Lived likes to rotate four players between the DH and the outfield regularly.' and "Scoscia will teach him, he’s the greatest fundamental/small ball manager ever "is plain stupid. I for one have seen better managers. Will people please make the correct statement when referring to something.

I looked back on the date. I was 12. A little off. I was going to sing a Boyz II Men song on the piano, but found out two minutes beforehand that the piano was broken; I had to improvise. My sister used to sing that Destiny's Child song, it was catchy, I knew the words, and really didn't care what a bunch of religious pre-nager zealots thought. That was the year Mother found Jesus. I was kicked out for punching some kid after he cheated in Four Square. It was a Christian Camp in Warwick. I looked back on the date. I was 12. A little off.

With the way Cashman is working on the OF, the edge Damon had by being able to man LF is slowly dwindling. Matsui's got DH experience, as much as he wants to joke around about being in the OF this winter, and he's a man. He's got a man's 40 year old knees! Definitely.

Cameron's great against left handed pitching, Granderson not so much. Versus a tough lefty can play Cameron, Melky, Swish verus tough righty Granderson, Melky, Swish and on most days Melky, Cameron, Granderson with Swish DHing. Cameron over Damon now.
