Matsui Out as Mets 2B

9
Vote

New York Mets 2B Kaz Matsui is no longer the starting 2B. Matsui who is batting .179 in May will be replaced by a combination of Jose Valentin and Chris Woodward. Manager Willie Randolph staid that he will go with what he "feel[s] and see[s]." "I'm not going to say it's a strict platoon. I'm going to find a way to match up guys that I think is best for the team. When I look at the lineup and who's pitching, I'm going to make a decision daily on what I want to do."

Overdue, but better late than never.

I wonder why they aren't bringing up Hernandez. Why did they sour on him so quickly?

Hernandez can't hit. But I don't think the Mets have soured on him. They can give up time at SS in AAA, making him a much better trade prospect. (He can already play 2B.) Plus, bringing him up requires the Mets to send someone down. Who are you suggesting?

What about Keppinger? He has decent minor league numbers, is there something in his makeup which prevents the Mets from using him?

He's not as good as Woodward and plays fewer positions. It makes little sense to have both of them on the roster. (Valentin is a switch hitter and the Mets lack a lefty off the bench w/o him.)

as much of a disaster that kaz has been...i don't think he deserved this, yet. He was on his way, but he's been good defensively and has had some good games. Come on, it's not like Jose Valentin or Chris Woodward are any better.
