Can we all agree at least that Johnny Damon really isn't an excellent center fielder? He's good, maybe even great, but I'm tired of everybody blowing him like he's the 2nd coming of Joe DiMaggio. He's not even the second coming of Bernie Williams.

unfortunately i agree with you. all my blowing of him was very sarcastic.

$52m for 4 years for a centerfielder like that is disappointing. however, after thinking this over and vomitting multiple times, i believe cashman has something in store. perhaps not this offseason, but he's gotta know that he will be moving damon out of CF after 2006/2007. he's spoken numerous times of the prospects at lower level of the farm. plus next year will be the last in sheffield's contract. so there will be changes in the outfield. damon won't do well in RF, but maybe LF, and matsui in CF. maybe some newcomer will start in RF and move to CF.
anyways, this just makes so little sense to have damon in CF after 2007. cashman has got to have a plan b.
