Plus flexibility of Matsui for 1 year instead of Damon for 2. I mean, I love Damon and I would like to see him back but Granderson essentially replaces his bat and plays much better D. Matsui makes more sense at this point.
And Cervelli is nothing more than a backup catcher - he's not Posada's heir.

I just think Damon has a lot more value because he can play LF when needed. With the amount of days Posada and A-Rod are presumably gonna need at DH this year I think it'd be huge to be able to play Damon in LF when those guys are DH'ing. With Matsui he's just gonna have to be benched when the DH spot is needed.
I wouldn't mind Matsui if Damon keeps asking for too much but Damon just seems like the far better bet to stay healthy and add some value by playing LF when needed.
