Kazuo Matsui returned from the 15 day disabled list because of a strained right right hamstring July 9. Cecil Cooper put Matsui at the top of the lineup against the Chicago Cubs, and he also said that he plans to keep Matsui there for a while. Matsui claims that he is comfortable at the top of the lineup.
Matsui has had 35 at bats in his career in the leadoff position, and he is only batting .171 there. He struck out 7 times, and had 4 RBI from atop the lineup. In the series vs. the Cubs, he was 1-9 leading off...I'm starting to wonder if Cooper will keep Matsui there for a while, as he claims.
