  Mets get Matsui (the other one)

Well, it seems just about official. Kazuo Matsui is the newest member of the New York Mets. I'm cautiously optimistic as I am every offseason. (Yes, even last year. Go back and look if you don't believe me. I think I said something about the Mets' outfield not being a complete disaster.) So I've got visions in my head of ways this could work out extremely well. But of course there are reasons for concern. Who knows exactly how well Matsui's offensive skills will translate to the major league game? Who knows what effect moving Jose Reyes to second base will have on his offensive development? But the Mets' offseason is off and running now and the first move is a potentially exciting one. I'll be back with some more expanded thoughts on the Matsui situation tomorrow. But for now, I'll close by saying GO GET VLAD, JIM.
