I have really mixed feelings on the subject.
A) I think the idea that Matsui is a rookie SHOULD violate the spirit of the award.
B) given the Jackie Robinson history of the award I have to admit that it doesn't violate the history of the spirit of the award.
Matsui should be on everyone's ballots. Stil, I have trouble with the fact that professional baseball in japan doesn't count for anything here in the states.
