I'm pretty surprised that Damon hasn't found a place to play yet. I know he's basically a DH at this point and he may not be a prototypical power DH guy but he still gets on base consistently. Hope he latches on somewhere, he's 277 hits away from 3,000 so if he could somehow find a place to DH full-time for 2 more years he'd get there. Always been a Damon fan so it would be great to see him get there.
Feel like he's going to have to wait for an injury in spring training though, or possibly be a mid-season signing if he plays at all...taking 3,000 out of play. Don't think he really wants to be a bench player, and if he went to the NL he'd be basically limited to 1 pinch hit AB a game because he really can't throw at all.
