And, his name is not Chris Burke.
Kaz Matsui agrees to terms.

Burke and Scott are as good as traded.

 

Hmmmm don't know about this one...

 

Wade is doing some dealing. Ive been keeping up with it, Cruz jr is also here and Brocail is back. Glad to see some moves coming.

 

I like that we are mixing stuff up. I'm tired of the "friends forever" attitude we had the last 2 seasons. Spice the lineup up and let's see what happens. Burke sucked anyway.

 

Burke didn't have such a hot season for '07 but neither did Matsui. But then again, he seemed to dominate anytime we played the Rockies last year

Maybe we'll get lucky this time around. However, it still won't be the same replacing Biggio's position with some Jap from Colorado

 

For a second I confused him with akinori iwamura and got excited

 

I got him confused with Suzuki Kawasaki!

 

Matsui last year:

.288 37rbi .342 Onbase 24doubles 4hr 32 stolen bases

I'd say that is a significant upgrade over chris burke. If he had a year like he did last year he will be well worth the 5 million, his problem has been consistency.

 

I thought it was Hayabusa Toyota!!
