Matsui at 1B?

MLB.com's Bryan Hoch:

If manager Joe Girardi wants to put Matsui -- or, for that matter, Johnny Damon -- out at first base to take ground balls during Spring Training, there doesn't necessarily seem to be any harm with that.

I just wonder about Matsui's ability to make the transition to playing there full-time, especially since he's coming off arthroscopic right knee surgery. Would the Yankees be comfortable with seeing those players bang their bodies around on the infield flagging down ground balls? Then again, it's not like Matsui or Damon are especially shy about sliding or diving for plays in the outfield.

Do it. Do it. Do it!!
