Thats simply untrue. These were each's stats in last full year:

Bay
538 78 133 25 2 21 84 59 9 141 4 1 .247 .327 .418 .745

Matsui
547 100 156 28 4 25 103 73 73 4 2 .285 .367 .488 .855




Its not really close. Matsui hit for more power, struck out at half the rate and batted 40 pts higher. As a matter of fact, he was better in every category.

This year, matsui has been injured, but he still batting 323.
