Fantasy Analysis
Matsui, who played for New York from 2003-09, proved that he could still drive in runs last season but his power took a bit hit with the move to the spacious Oakland Coliseum. He would likely see time at DH if he were to rejoin the Yankees so keep an eye on the situation going forward. Matsui would be worth a look in deeper mixed leagues if he sees regular playing time in 2012 but he is no longer the solid Fantasy option he once was. (Updated 01/16/2012).
