By now you have all heard the news made official today that Kazuo Matsui has joined the Rockies and Jason Smith was designated for assignment. The reason the Rockies waited until after they were out of the New York media glare for this move should be fairly obvious to us as well, and at this point Matsui's presence on the roster isn't likely to make much of a difference in the standings. The real question will be how emboldened Clint Hurdle will be to use Matsui over either of our other two middle infielders.
At any rate, we should have a Kaz PH appearance at least to look forward to tonight, and hopefully a "Cook"-out with sausages for everybody.
Go Rockies!
