Upon Godzilla

The Yankees made the entirely correct decision yesterday in re-signing Hideki Matsui.

Matsui is one of the most dependable Yankees, and you can write his name down for .300, 20+ HR, and 110 RBI for the rest of his career. He has improved in each year in the US, and does not ask for any days off. He also happens to be one of my favorite Yankees. Of all the potential moves to occur this off-season, this was the biggest no-brainer. The Yankees would have been fools not to lock-up left field for the next 4 years, and to load this contract with options to retain him if he continues to perform. (Plus I love shouting "Mat-suiiiiiiiiiiiii!" in a mock-samurai voice when he does well.)
