Johnny Damon signs with Yankees

[sublime]

Yes, Furcal is a better signing. But to defend the Furcal signing you can't say the Damon signing is:

ummm, i didnt defend the furcal signing.

as for giles:

he draws a lot of his offensive work from walks, which as we discussed last week have a longer shelf life in terms of offensive worth than a singles hitter.

he could lose 50% of his offensive worth next year and be a better value than damon due to being paid close to 30% less.

really, its not even remotely close.
