doubleM23 Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 I don't know, but according to Hideki Matsui, he has no plans on meeting with the Yankees... http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...ankees_matsui_4 Maybe if the Sox were halfway smart, they'd make a run at him. Oh wait, it's the Sox. D'oh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 If the Sox were smart they'd get the Matsui that plays shorstop. The guy hit over .300 and hit 30+ hr's. He is very good defensively and super quick. His one weakness is he isn't too patient at the plate but he still should hit .300 or so with 20 hr's and 40-50 steals at the major league level. Of course I would definately take this Matsui as our centerfielder. If Jr was smart he'd get him and then use Rowand or Lee to acquire Colon who doesn't make too much and the Sox attendance should shoot straight through the roof and he may just get the fans to start respecting him, especially cause a team like that would compete for it all.

No way, their payroll would be "to high". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsSuck1 Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 Id love for Matsui to play here, but management knows hes going to be a bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 I dont' think he's gonna be a bust. From all reports I've heard, the major leaguers think he's real good. He plays good all around defense and I'm not sure what kind of speed he has, but he's supposed to be a great hitter. The big reason he'd be a good signing is I think it would be a great way to get the Asian Market involved with the White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he's going to be a bust, I'm saying that KW will, for some reason, be against signing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 Ya, of course I can't blame him. If it comes down to spending 10 mill on a pitcher or 10 mill on a centerfielder, I'd rather have the pitcher, considering the fact our offense is already good. Still, I am intrigued at the thought of adding him. I'd still rather wait and pick up the shorstop named Matsui that comes out next year and sign the pitcher this year. Boy am I dreaming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
