The Angels could at least offer him arbitration and would likely be his top choice should the Texas Rangers’ management not be able to make a play for him. He’d be playing in a weaker division, on a perennial contender and for a great manager.

We all know that Hideki Matsui helped the Yankees win the World Series with some clutch hits in the playoffs and we saw his bashing of Pedro Martinez in game six of the World Series of 2009.
Hideki Matsui wants to be back but will the Yankees bring him back? The Yankees have a plethera of outfielders and all Matsui could do is DH since he has surgically repaired knees. He is a Red Sox killer however but we have Austin Jackson waiting down in the minors. Jackson did hit .300 but with only four... Read Full Story
Actually, in a few minutes, I’m going out to eat with my father. After that, I’m coming back and I’m going to write another piece on Hideki Matsui.
This off season I’ll be doing radio interviews and I’m going to post about every single Yankee prospect. Last year, people were really starting to post. Actually, towards the end of the year they were. When the new season started I wondered what happened to those people. Well, once the Yankees’ season was over i... Read Full Story
