MCH Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 I guess the Yankees got their man. Johnny Damon and the Yankees have tentatively agreed to a 4 year contract. The Yanks also signed Octavio Dotel. The Dodgers inked Kenny Lofton. Now we just need another starting pitcher and we're set for opening day.

VABuckSlayer Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Re: Damon signs with Yankees Yea baby! Damon is the man. Even though he's been playing with the Sox I've always liked his game! He is a tough out and a great CFer! He will be awesome for the Yankees. Glad to see we're working on the bullpen too. If we could get another good starter I think we will be looking at possibly another WS ring!!!! Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By his own admission he has a wet noodle for an arm. I would think that may be important when playing CF. He is a pretty good hitter though.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Re: Damon signs with Yankees I heard part of Johnny Damon's contract was George Steinbrenner (sp?) wanted him to get a crew cut, he wasn't cool on the long hair!!

muggs Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Re: Damon signs with Yankees Damon is definately the richest caveman of all time. Kevin, looks like your dodgers are going to be pretty tough this year. To bad Shapiro can't lure anyone to Cleveland...hmm let's see...live in L.A. or Cleveland...tough decision.

Don't have to look at Cromagnon Damon anymore. Georgy likes his boys clean shaven and finely coiffed. As far as the deal, who cares, as long as the Sox and Yanks get beat, let them spend their money.

James7xChamp3 Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Re: Damon signs with Yankees Damon isn't a trader Mick. The Sox should've paid him. He is the best lead off man in the game. The front office better have something up their sleeve to part with him! He will definitely improve the Yankees with his game. Us Sox fans should be worried.

VtBowhunter Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Re: Damon signs with Yankees Damon was a great Red Sox player and will be missed, but he'll only be a mediocre Yankee. His Batting Average at Yankee stadium is horrible compared to other stadiums, and his shoulder has a lot of issues. Was nice knowing ya, Johnny.
