Player Notes
March 9, 2010
Hideki Matsui went 1-for-2 in Los Angeles' 6-5 exhibition win over the Padres on Tuesday.

Our View:The hit ensured that he maintained a .500 average thus far this spring. Despite his move away from the cozy confines of Yankee Stadium, he should remain worth an own in almost every format

Hideki Matsui may be cleared to work in the DH role Sunday against Oakland, according to Lyle Spencer's (MLB Blogs) twitter page.

Our View:That will depend on how Matsui feels after today's workout. Skipper Mike Scioscia won't make him do too much in spring training, as he has two balky knees.

According to the Boston Globe, the Angels plan to give Hideki Matsui a shot at manning the outfield despite his knee issues.

Our View:This is strange as Matsui has already admitted that his deteriorating knees aren't 100 percent, and we don't think that they ever will be. He's a tailor-made DH at this point in his career, so the Halos might just be trying to grab headlines or boost his ego.

Hideki Matsui admitted that his knees are not 100 percent while heading into spring training with the Angels, according to the Orange County Register.

Our View:Matsui feels good overall, but his knee issue could force the Angels to restrict him to a DH role. That scenario shouldn't hurt his fantasy value much though.
