How long will Matsui be out

[LongBallMan23]

I know he got a hand injury but does anyone know how long he will be out?

Brian Cashman was on 770 WFAN in NY and they think he is going to be out THREE MONTHS and maybe the whole year. They are going with Melky Cabrera full time till sheff gets off the DL. Crosby gets LF and Bernie gets to play more OF. A disaster

ive been hearing he's out till atleast mid august/early september.

May 12 ESPNews reports New York Yankees manager Joe Torre doesn't expect OF Hideki Matsui (wrist) back before the playoffs.

If this is true...then the worst for Fantasy Purposes has come true. Poor Matsui.

So do you think we should drop him or hold him in hopes he can give us a late boost?

people are saying he will take 3 months to heal. after that, he'll need to play in the minor leagues to get his timing back. at best, you might be looking at 1-2 weeks of matsui. if you have a free DL spot, you can stash him. but if you don't, it's not worth it. there's no guarantee he'll hit .300 with decent pop and rbi's when he gets back anyway.

kind of along the lines of what ive been thinking.
i mean its pretty bad when the manager doesnt even expect him back for the playoffs.

but its also hard to just drop a guy like matsui
