Matsui wasn't retained be...Hindsight is 20/20.<br /><br />Matsui wasn't retained because Cashman wanted to keep the DH position open so guys such as A-Rod, Jeter, Tex, Posada could get a day off in the field and still be able to bat. Matsui wouldn't allow that to be possible.<br /><br />Vlad was coming off of an injury this season, no one expected him to put up the numbers he is putting up. Vlad may very well end up with better than career average numbers (which are fantastic to say the least) in a few categories.<br /><br />But I can agree with you, based on track record Nick Johnson might not have been the best option out there... but if he hadn't gotten injured, things might look totally different at this point.<br /><br />Can't wait for the deadline. I'm not sure if they will make a move to grab a stop gap DH until Johnson comes back because the Thames/Miranda platoon seems to be working out alright. I'd rather them exhaust resources elsewhere. A utility INF with a bat and a dependable bullpen arm.. or two.<br /><br />DJ Carrasco (Pirates) comes to mind. He should be cheap.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />-- Also to address the whole NJ thing again though, I know it's a silly thing to say. But.. the Yankees are still in 1st place, so it's not the end of the world. We haven't exactly felt any repercussions of the move not working out perfectly.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04258220462010319863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-601679244189532906.post-2800885586795644702010-07-29T03:05:37.252-04:002010-07-29T03:05:37.252-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04258220462010319863noreply@blogger.com
