matsui is also a FA

i think Ryan from the O's is going to be a great pickup for someone....hopefully the Yanks.

[Velcro]

Strange... i wonder why Sports Illustrated missed Matsui, is he restricted by any options?

Yes, Ryan is a huge pickup.  i want Billy Wagner, you can have Ryan.  Actually, i'd take both... but i'm not greedy  

[ChiTownBull]

not sure....but i remember matsui signed a 3 yr deal....and it has now been 3 yrs....

i think ryan is a better fit for the yanks because he could be groomed to take Mo's place in a few yrs....boy will that be a sad day....

[Velcro]

It'll be a happy day for me, but i agree, i do like him as a player... very classy.

I guess they missed Matsui because of that West coast bias

you had to love how he tipped his cap when the sox fans cheered him opening day of 2005.

besides being a great pitcher he doesn't let things bother him.....has he blown some games...yep and they have been big ones 97 vs cleveland, 2001 vs d-backs, 2004 vs the sux. However they would not have won four WS titles without him.

it will be intersting to see how lidge performs in the future.....
