Yankees contact Hideki Matsui about open DH job

i hope they do bring him back,, hes got a lot of class

I think that the Yankee front office is slipping. Why trade away Montero? He will come back to haunt you. Mr Washed Up, Freddy Garcia? Freddy who? Freddy Fender would have done better on the mound. Now the washed up Matsui? I thought that he was in Japan managing a Toyota dealership. The Yankee front office is taking lessons from the Mets front office by trading away well groomed talent. My advice to the Yankee front office is to stop basking in the past glory and remember that New Yorkers like me don't back losers. The words NY Yanks equals success. Stop slipping at the helm & remember that the Yanks did nothing between 1982 and 1994. The NY Yanks are too well paid to lose."There is no replacement for victory".(My Dad landed on Leyte in Oct 1944 & I m proud to quote Gen Macarthur.)

I think Godzilla would be a good fit. He cannot carry a team but wouldn't need to. No ego is a plus. You could also make a case for Damon. Good for the clubhouse and loves the big at bat. I'd take either one. Don't need Pena.

Yep. Bring him back.

matsui big time clutch performer with the bat if it were my money he 'd be DH and damon my second choice.

If in doubt, refer to 2009 W.S. game 6. That will say it all.

Now that Montero has been traded, and Posada retired, the Yankees do have an opening at DH, so why not bring back Matsui? It's kind of an out with the new, in with the old. lol

brian cashman has done a fantastic job on the starting rotation. pineda is more valuable than montero because yankees had no starters other than CC. kuroda is underrated and should be a solid #3 pitcher. i would take matsui over damon

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! GODZILLA FTW!

Hidekisun is always welcome in NYC. Glad to see they are at least considering him. Rather Matsui than Damon. GO GO GODZIRRA!!!

what happen to all the pro sports. Its all about money. A dad has a hard time to take his son to a game when it cost $80 for a seat and a dog for two.

Stick some chop sticks in Godzilla, he is done.

go yankees go you are #1

resign chavez forget damon/matsui

i would say get matsui since damon want a bit more money and playing time since he wants to crawl to 3000 hit in the next 2 years or the yankees could get fielder and switch around some player position think about arod to dh tex to 3rd and fielder to 1st

carlos pena, as the DH
Montero for a # 1 or 2 starter, great move
Montero is just a right handed dh and that's all he will ever be.

they should get carlos pena

Morning Hooter,
Both Matsui and Damon are team players and Yankee fan favorites. I believe that Damon brings a little more to the table. He can run and fill in LF and 1B if needed. Either would be OK with me.

The A's now have a solid outfield with Seth Smith, Coco Crisp and Reddick. Chris Carter and Mike Taylor are a couple of young sluggers that can fill the DH. I just hope the A's young pitchers can do the job.

matsui was great in 2009. he was and is one dimentional.
not breaking the bank this off season, and now having a full and hopefully well stocked starting line up, my off season wish is PRINCE FIELDER. the big market money is all but dried up, and prince could be our big popi for years to come. and unlike matsui, he can spell tex at first base. the best line up in baseball will be overwhelming and could even withstand AJ's every five day outings!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is fantastic news. Now, if we could only convince the Yankee front office to reacquire Lance Berkman via trade ...
