Johnny Damon has moved along to another team. He will be a Detroit Tiger in 2010 after signing a 1-year contract for $8 million. The well-travelled Damon will be used this year as a set-up hitter to Cabrera & Ordonez.
Damon has a unique resume that includes 2 World Series rings - one with Boston in 2004 & one with New York in 2009. I bet there's a book deal in there somewhere in the future. Johnny has experienced both sides of the greatest rivalry in all of sports.
I like Johnny Damon because he always plays hard & he often plays hurt. He was productive for his 4-year stint in Boston & his numbers were just as productive for his 4-year term in New York.
To Red Sox fans he was a leader of the "idiots" that brought a long-awaited World Series to Beantown. Then he was labeled a traitor for signing with the Yankees for more money. A love-hate relationship exists with Damon by most Red Sox fans.
