He's certainly not the outfielder he used to be, but I don't know that he's that much worse than Damon in left field, and I don't think it's a big problem if he's the DH anyway -- I'd rather see a lineup with Damon in LF, Matsui at DH, and Giambi at 1B than Damon/Matsui in LF, Giambi at DH, and Betemit or Duncan at 1B, that's for sure.
For once, I agree with mlyons. That bothers me.
