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.

Matsui has had one full season out of the last 3. He is a liability in the field and should be really bad with one surgically repaired knee and another that needs surgery.
Naturally you chose to use Bays worst season by far as his first three seasons were very good and he is playing well this year. And with the news that Matsui's doctor has urged him to have seaon ending surgery which he refuses to do I would assume that Nady/Damon will be your left fielder and Matsui the DH until he is placed back on the DL.
