Tyler Kepner in The New York Times reports that the Yankees might look into acquiring the man who has had the most success against Matsuzaka in Japan to counter the Red Sox
His name is Julio Zuleta, and he played 79 games for the Chicago Cubs in 2000-1. What makes Zuleta interesting, though, is his production in Japan the past three seasons.
Zuleta,
31, hit 109 home runs to tie for the most in the Pacific League.
According to his agent, Gene Casaleggio, he has hit seven home runs and
batted .273 against Daisuke Matsuzaka, the star pitcher who is
negotiating with the Boston Red Sox.
“He’s
a guy who’s seen Matsuzaka and had success off him in very big playoff
games,” Casaleggio said. “He’s seen him more than anybody.”
