In a way, Matsui is a little bit like Mariano in that he's one of the guys you can't really say anything bad about. I think he is a guy you still respect, even if plays for another team, and I'll continue to root for him, even as I root against the Angels.

Sure, the knees are a risk, but one worth taking. If he delivered something close to 2009 he'd be a bargain at $7-8 million. I hate to see him go, and I think it was a mistake.

Who would you rather have at the plate with the game on the line ? Posada, Arod, or Godzilla ? In my mind it is Godzilla without hesistation.
