giambi is so much better than matsui, even tho he does "clog up the basepaths"

Wang needs more love in this thread. Seriously. He gets paid 1/20th of what Pavano gets paid and look where the f he's at now. He will be a FA after this season, however, and I have no idea how much the Yankees are willing to sign him for. Any guesses/projections?

but the melky matsui gap is far less than the (plug in crappy reliever they have)-good reliever they could get gap...

especially since melky can actually play CF

does matsui have a lot of power in his contract btw, can he veto trades etc... i wouldn't be suprised if he did in his original contract, maybe not his extension tho... jus speculating however

it's not as close as you think. even though on joe torre teams, some relievers SEEM to pitch every night, the fact that a reliever only pitches 60-80 innings vs. 600 PAs that a starting left fielder would get - cabrera's okay in center, but in left his defense isn't as important and his offense needs to be better.

well the plan would be to put melky in cf and damon in left... so that defense compared to damon in cf and matsui in lf is a big gap... also especially on a joe torre team he needs another good reliever

why?

even if he's consistently wrong, (which as someone who doesn't follow the Yankees, I really don't know), he's not obnoxious about it, and he seems to have a genuine zest for his team.

I'd rather ban the douche with 80 posts for thinking his opinion matters.

Anyone with me?

im just busting your balls man

but a) such a trade would never happen so can i please stop reading about it

and b) no - im not sure a stud reliever will be able to fill the drop in production that will occur if we lose matsui... damon is not healthy enough to be starting in the outfield so the yanks would be relegated to an outfield of melky, abreu and kevin thompson, which would suck

matsui has a > 300 EqA right now which is pretty good
