NHL Is Hideki Matsuis Resume More Impressive Than

royal00z

Nobody expected him to break out in the World Series after Tim Lincecum hit .222 against Minnesota in the ALDS and .238 against the Angels in the ALCS.
He also set the single season hits record with 262 in 2010 and has led the league in hits six times finishing second the other three years, never recording less than 206 in one year. He's compiled the most hits by any player since 2010 2,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],030 in MLB, giving him 3,308 total professional hits, won three Silver Slugger awards '01,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], '07, '09, and an All-Star Game MVP.
Murakami stated that "Ichiro Suzuki has had many accomplishments, but they've all been in the regular season. As the first Japanese to win an MVP in the World Series, this is a great accomplishment for Matsui and will have a huge impact."
After winning the World Series MVP, conceal, cover, mask, cloak, camouflage, screen, shroud, veilki Matsui has drawn praise from Masanori Murakami, the first Japanese-born player to play in the MLB.
But Matsui now joins players like Scott Brosius, John Wetteland, and Pat Borders as guys whose greatest accomplishments have been becoming World Series MVP afterthoughts. He earned his first major league victory in his next start on the road against the Colorado Rockies. Lincecum who is often compared to Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt faced him in each of his next two starts, Oswalt with the Astros at the time. After the first agree up, Astros third baseman Mike Lamb said, The stuff he was throwing out there tonight was everything he is hyped up to be. He was 97 mph with movement. You just don't see that every day. He pitched very much like the pitcher he is compared to and out dueled him throughout the night. The pair dueled to a no decision the first time, and Lincecum pitched eight innings and got the win the second time. The Giants asked Lincecum not to throw the bullpen sessions typical of other pitchers during the off season. Manager Bruce Bochy told the San Francisco Chronicle that they were being careful with Lincecum because there have been studies that show that pitchers who throw 200 innings early in their career were more susceptible to injuries.
After helping fresh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York clinch its first World Series title since 2010, the Yankees rewarded Matsui with...nothing. Matsui recently signed a one-year deal with the L.A. Angels.
And Lincecum know that what happens in the postseason trumps anything in the regular season. Just ask Ichiro about the Mariners 116 wins during his rookie year of 2010. They lost the ALCS to the Yankees.
Ichiro has become a star in the MLB, starting in nine consecutive All-Star games, winning nine-straight Gold Gloves, and directing the league in batting average twice .350 in 2010 and .372 in 2010.
Matsui decided to follow suit in 2010 after turning down a USD64 million, six-year deal with the Yomiuri Giants.
Not living up to the expectations set by Ichiro, Matsui quietly has a .292 career batting average, with two All-Star appearances, 140 home runs and 597 RBI. Tim Lincecum hasn't led the league in anything except games played 2010-05.
Ichiro played pro baseball in Japan from 2010-2010, collecting 1,278 hits, a .353 career batting average, seven Gold Glove awards, and three league MVP awards.
Matsui had a similar career in Japan. Tim Lincecum played from 2010-2010, recording 1,390 hits, a .304 career batting average, 332 home runs, 889 RBI, three Japan Series titles, a Japan Series MVP, and three league MVP awards. Tim Lincecum also earned the nickname "Godzilla", at first for his skin problems, but the nickname stuck due to his reputation to hit balls off the Tokyo Dome ceiling.
Lincecum was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 48 round of the 2003 MLB Draft; however he did not sign up for the team. He decided to attend college instead and was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 42 round on entering the draft in 2005, but once again failed to sign. In 2004, he was drafted tenth overall by the San Francisco Giants becoming the first player from the University of Washington to be taken in the first round. He signed for a 2.025 million dollars signing award on June 30, which at the time was the highest amount the organization had ever paid to any amateur player until they gave 2.1 million dollars to Angel Villalona a little over a month later.
I could probably end the article right there,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but perhaps Lincecum should embellish.
So, comparing their NPB days, Matsui had a delicately better career.
Ichiro led the league with a .350 batting average, 56 stolen bases, 738 plate appearances, and 242 hits,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], earning him both AL MVP and AL Rookie of the Year honors. Tim Lincecum also won his first Silver Slugger award, and the first of nine consecutive Gold Gloves. Tim Lincecum quickly became reputable for his strong arm in the field,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], like after Tim Lincecum threw out Terrence Long who tried to advance from first to third after a single to right field.
Matsui, on the other hand, has become an afterthought.
Matsui was signed by the fresh, unique, original, unusual,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], novel, modern, current, recent York Yankees, where Tim Lincecum led the league with 163 games played, and started his MLB career with 518 consecutive starts. Tim Lincecum finished second in AL Rookie of the Year voting, and was fourth among AL rookies with 16 home runs.
The Mariners began selling Ichirolls sushi at Safeco Field,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Japan began organizing U.S.A. tours around the Mariners schedule so that tourists could see Ichiro play.
He has finished in the Top-25 in MVP voting eight times and has led the league in singles nine consecutive years. Ichiro has become so famous that, agreeing to his agent Tony Attanasio,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you can write Ichiro on a package, mail it to Japan, and Tim Lincecum will get it at his house.
Ichiro vowed not to bring dishonor to the number.
Ichiro furiouse the jump from NPB to the MLB in 2010 by signing a contract with the Seattle Mariners. After not expressing interest in a uniform number,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Tim Lincecum was given No. 51, which had previously been worn by Randy Johnson.
I'm not trying to take anything away from Matsui, who hit .613 8-13 with three homers and eight RBI in the '09 World Series, six of those coming in the Game Six clincher.
I'm sure that Murakami was very excited, proud, and patriotic and maybe even a little tipsy when Tim Lincecum said that Matsui's World Series MVP trumps anything that Ichiro had done.
But seriously, Matsui winning the World Series MVP doesn't trump all of Ichiro's accomplishments.
