Sox interested in Matsui?
Japanese Web site says he'd play left field

Although the Red Sox have expressed their strong desire to reach a contract agreement to bring back free agent Jason Bay, a Web site in Japan suggests they might have another plan: World Series MVP Hideki Matsui.
A story on nikkansports.com and translated by NPB Tracker says the Sox are preparing a multiyear offer for Matsui to be the team's regular left fielder, according to MLB.com.
Matsui batted .274 with 28 homers and 90 RBIs in 142 games with the Yankees this season, and he knocked in six runs in New York's World Series-clinching win over the Phillies.
But Matsui will be 36 in December, and his creaky knees have made him a full-time DH (he last played in the field in June 200. A recent survey in the New York Daily News of more than a half-dozen general managers came back with a unanimous response: Matsui's days in the outfield are over.
Plus, the Red Sox already have a left-handed hitting DH in David Ortiz, and teams are prohibited from making contract offers to free agents until Nov. 20.
Maybe something was lost in the translation.
