This is probably pointless, because the chances atos is actually going to sign Johnny Damon are somewhere between slim and none, but I don't like the logic I'm hearing. I can't figure out if I heard from atos himself or in opinion at djf that the plan would be to bring Damon in on a 1-year contract, but I'm all against it if it's only one year.
Damon can't help anything next season, he's only going to get in the way. All he can do is play left field or dh, and there is already a logjam at those positions. Why bring him in to jam it up even worse? If all the many options in the lf-1b-dh logjam can't play at the mlb level, than this team has more problems than what Damon can fix. I can see locking him up as a cheap option for the years after 2010, when he might actually help as a DH, and putting up with a way to make him fit next season. Don't be his springboard to a bigger contract next season, let somebody else do that.
If you really feel the need to add a veteran name player for a season to "fire up" the fans, why not look at Jermaine Dye? He can at least play a position where they need some help, RF.
