Orioles could become players on Hideki Matsui

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Orioles, in the market for another starting pitcher, a closer, a corner infielder and a middle-of-the-lineup bat, could become a serious player for designated hitter Hideki Matsui depending on how things play out there with the Yankees and where Matsui might turn next.

"I don't think there's any question he's still a productive hitter," Orioles president Andy MacPhail said Wednesday night. "He showed us that this postseason.

"We have positions to fill."

Baltimore's first priorities are to find another starter, a closer and a corner infielder, but after that. ...

"It's always possible," MacPhail said. "We're looking for a middle of the order bat.

"[He's] somebody who's on our board. We have a great deal of admiration and respect for how he plays the game."

Scott would move to first base if they don't sign Delgado, LaRoche, etc. and/or be traded.

Signing Matsui only makes sense if they plan to trade Scott... how many Lefty DHs does one team need?

YOu're right Baltimore, this guy is a natural talented hitter. The only problem with him are those bad knees otherwise he'd be in pinstripes with a 4 year deal similar to Rivera's by now. The Yankees need to pay attention more on Johnny Damon rather than this guy because they need that DH spot filled by players who need the rest which happens to occur often whereas baltimore needs to fill the DH spot since they're a young team needing experience and Matsui could not only bring that to their lineup, but also in the clubhouse, mentoring younger players by example. Matsui should give his old buddy Mussina a call to get advice on playing in Baltimore as Mussina did during his young and prime years.
