December 5, 200520 yr perfect #2 hitter anf fills the cf whole strikes out about 80 times a year obp over .370 hits over .300 and good speed? why has no one mentioned him? It would put the sox leaps beyond everyone else and would not have to trade anymore players, i think with that signing the sox would be done for the year on trades.
December 5, 200520 yr Far too expensive and he's a Boras client as well, although those two pretty much go hand in hand.
December 5, 200520 yr Author 13 mill a year is not to bad but maybe im low balling him with increase in rev, and more support from the great people of chicago wouldn't now be the time to win back the city for good.

You want to pay Damon more then Konerko? The sad part is, he might get something outrageous like that. See: Rafael Furcal. Edited December 5, 200520 yr by Rowand44

I've mentioned it a few times, though I always followed it up with "but it ain't gonna happen."
December 5, 200520 yr QUOTE(AirScott @ Dec 5, 2005 -> 02:04 AM) I've mentioned it a few times, though I always followed it up with "but it ain't gonna happen." Damon is an over-rated caveman who can't throw and really isn't all that good at hitting. Oh yeah and for some reason he is gonna get a fat contract. That's the last person I want on our team.

Ummm If he gets a 7 year contract he wont be good at hitting at the end of it but currently thats dumb to say.

I've also mentioned it a few times. But w/ Boras as his agent and the money he is seeking. Only the Cubs, Red Sox and Yankees will be that dumb to pay him all that for that long. I say lets either put the kid (B. Anderson) out there. Or go after a cheaper, speedy #2 guy. I know everyone (including myself) has mentioned Pierre a plethora of times. But I don't think that will be happening. If KW gets someone- it will probably be via trade during the winter meetings. Stay tuned....

Its just the nature of Sox fans. We love the security of having solid players on your team for years to come.

December 5, 200520 yr We can sign Damon just as soon as JR decides to bump the payroll up to $200 million.

I'm not saying he's a bad hitter, but what's so good about him? Sure he has batted over .300 the last two years, but in one of the best lineups in one of the better hitting parks. I just think he is very over rated. He used to be better when he stole bases. I'll admit he will put up better numbers than our CF next year, but with an enourmous contract.
December 5, 200520 yr I hate johnny damon, the man is a retard. go take your overpriced beard elsewhere
