More mediocre players. Blum, Jose Cruz Jr., now Matsui.
Brocail? lol.
Let's just sign every scrub we can find...the older the better too.
Did you get a chance to check out Matsui's numbers outside of Coors? Have fun watching him suck it up all year.
edit: Here are his stats:
Coors: .330 AVG, .381 OBP, .482 SLUG, 4 HR 25 RBI, 14 SB
Away: .249 AVG, .301 OBP, .333 SLUG, 0 HR 12 RBI, 18 SB
His #'s at MMP: .222 AVG(my god), .263 OBP(HOLY HELL), .389 SLUG, 0 HR, 0 RBI, 0 SB
He had 2 good seasons at Coors(mostly AT Coors so the stats are inflated). He was horrible in NY(in 2004 he was "ok"). Pretty sure he can barely hit it out of the infield.
Seems like he's only good for defense and stealing bases WHEN he gets on, which probably won't be often enough.
I hope I'm wrong though, maybe he will turn a corner and become a solid everyday hitter, but I doubt it.
I guess we really can't do any better though, after all it IS the Astros we're talking about.
just think of matsui as an upgrade over burke
