Matsui: Will he return to form?

[vykeengfan]

When Matsui comes off the DL, what are his chances that he picks up where he left off? The reason why I'm asking is that I have him on my dl, and I'm thinking that if he can come back strong, I can move either Holliday, Miggy, or Arod if Matsui. With about a week to go in our trading deadline, I'd like to make a move.
Any thoughts?

just cut Miner and pick up Matsui in case he does return to form

I don't know if he will return to his form right away, but he is worth the gamble. His protection in the line-up just got stronger when NYY traded for Abreu and there are talks that Sheffield will play 1B upon his return. Imagine this line-up:

Damon, Jeter, Sheffield, Giambi, A-rod, Abreu, Matsui, Posada, Cano (#3-6 can change any day).

If Yankees can just get good pitching staff, they'll be unstoppable. Except they always seem to go for "left-over", "overrated", "high priced", "over the hill" pitchers other teams just throw away...

In 119 AB's, he's batting .261 with 5HRs and 19RBI ...i'd say the chances that he picks up where he left off will be pretty good

Will he look like he did last season ..

No. (see Derrek Lee).

He might luck into a few Runs and RBIS simply because of that stupid team though. Nothing worth trading for, but if he is on the wire i'd take a chance if your team can risk it.
