Hmm now if I was going to sign a possibly superfluous and cheap Free Agent...

I think I would make it Johnny Damon. Maybe for 2-3 years even. He could DH and play left field, and yeah his defense sucks but the team is going to suck so who cares. He could provide some of that "veteran leadership". He could bat 1st or 2nd. And if the team is going to be any good in 2011-12 he might just be valuable as the kind of part they may not be currently developing in the minors and may not be able to easily get in the fa market. This especially makes sense if Overbay gets traded.

And he just might be cheap even though he is a Boras client, especially if you do offer him a year deal. 2+ an easy to reach option? Just thinking out loud.
