If you were to say for the last few weeks or month, then Matsui would be the obvious choice, however, A-rod overall is a much greater player. In the long run Arod would be the better pick. He consistently hits for average, power, he can run, he is great defensively, and he puts fans in the stands. Matsui recently has been playing much better than A-rod and so has their 2nd baseman robinson cano, but they fail to provide their hot sreaks for over the course of the season and career. Arod is almost a sure bet to continue to be great unlike matsui. Also Matsui is injury prone while arod has only missed 2 days this season. Arod also happens to be more clutch. However, Matsui does provide benefits like doing great things without being a distraction to the team. He never gets caught up with the media (no english) and he has a passion for the game (Arod does too). For the past month matsui would have been a better choice but through the course of time Arod is the best player to have in your roster.

Baseball is a hard game. These guys hit peaks and valleys throughout the season, no one could keep up that pace AROD was on. Obviously AROD will go down as one of the top 10 players to ever play this game. I do like Matsui, he is a professional hitter and a clutch player unlike AROD, but AROD is the best player in the game right now.

Alex Rodriguez is an inherently better hitter, baserunner, and fielder than Godzilla. Hideki cannot even field his position nor can he have a batting stance and swing that allow consistent repetition and swings. Hideki is a good ballplayer, but comparing him to the greatest overall player of all-time is not fair. That's right, I said A-Rod is greatest of all-time. You do not have to wait until the end of his career to make a claim based solely on his numbers. It is simple fact that he is right up there with Griffey, Bonds, Mays, Shoeless "Joe," Mickey, and all the other great overall players.

For the past few weeks and right now, I'd rather have Matsui. But, A-Rod is just in a completely different league than Matsui, I'd definetely choose A-Rod.

A-Rod is better. But let me have a few drinks and some peyote and I'll get back with you!
Now Hideki is the better Japanese player but that's the only thing he has A-Rod beat on. No contest!

A guy on a hot streak, or possibly the greatest player of our generation - wow, what a tough choice!

I much rather have both but if i had to choose the one with a lesser ego it would be Matsui.
