That said, the Ms should absolutely consider Nakajima. Matsui was such a bust, that I think Nakajima could come real cheap and the Ms have an enormous hole at SS for the next several years.
His bat should be league-average or slightly bettter. I'm interested in his glove. His range is probably slightly below-average, but the arm is above-average.
Overall I'd guess he'd fit somewhere in the 2.5-3.5 WAR range depending on how the D translates.
Guess how many 2.5+ WAR SS there were in the AL this season? TWO!
SS is a thin position these days and Nakajima is potentially one of the best SS in the league and cheap.
