Matsui to the Angels. Thoughts?

Glada Tartan · 12-15-09, 09:38 AM

According to my wide baseball expertise, Matui is going to be a good reinforcement!

Not a horrible replacement for Vlad as simply a DH.

Shortstop · 12-17-09, 03:51 AM

One year deal for $6 Million. He'll look weird in an Angels uniform...

daneblazer · 12-17-09, 02:31 PM

Still a solid hitter. Not a bad pick up.

DOMINATER · 12-18-09, 04:24 AM

Yankees are really loaded he produced like that in the world series and he was overlooked.

Glada Tartan · 12-18-09, 06:24 AM

Yanks will replace him with.. ?

Moreno is following in Autrey's footsteps....signing players on the downhill slide.

Good pick up for the Halo's. I would have liked to keep Hideki in the Bronx but the aging roster and his inability to spend any time in the field really makes him a half time DH, unacceptable.

no matsui is meant to be in the Yankeessss

Busterflywheel · 02-01-10, 12:23 PM

I like the move...

Bsters · 02-01-10, 02:23 PM

With the departure of Figgins' bat (.298 in 2009) and Gurrero I think Matsui will be a good situational hitter for the Angels in 2010.

I would rather have kept Vladimir Guerrero as my DH. He's a better hitter, he's less injury prone, and he's more capable of playing the field if called upon.

You must not have watched any angel games last year. Vlad has the body of a 40 year old.

How's he gonna get his porn collection out there?

Haha, I heard about that. Doesn't he have like 50,000 porn videos?

Vlad has better wheels than Matsui. But Matsui's right hand is probably better than Vlad's.

As a fan, you should be looking at his production and what he brings to the Angels. He played a key role in the Yankees WS run last season. I think he can be a huge addition to the Angels. How many times did bettors get fuk by CC Sabathia last year?

Vlad no longer has wheels. He's gonna get hurt within a month

nitty48 · 03-15-10, 10:33 AM

hes better than nothing

The J Man · 03-15-10, 10:42 AM

As a Yankee fan, I loved Matsui. As a pure DH, you won't regret it. He hits lefties really well and he hits in the clutch.

CashMoney · 03-16-10, 08:55 AM

When he's locked in the ball jumps off his bat. He's streaky though, when he's cold he'll ground everything to second but he's a good pickup for the Angels. Matsui will be missed by the Yankees.

xxred_hottxx · 03-16-10, 02:32 PM

Matsui is a great player so it is def good news for the Angels. However, I like seeing him on the Yankess

stealthyburrito · 03-16-10, 06:54 PM

another value pickup by the Angels, maybe they'll take the all the NYY leftovers and make them into integral parts of their offense (like Abreu, awesome pickup)
