49. Kazuo Matsui (Rockies career WAR 3.9)

New York thought they were getting the second coming of Ichiro when Matsui signed with the Mets in December of 2003. Although Matsui never really lived up to the hype, he had a solid career, accumulating 5.3 WAR, 3.9 of which he earned in two years a mile above sea level. He was the spark plug at the top of the line-up for the 2007 National-League Champions.
