In a press conference yesterday in Tampa the Rays brass introduced Manny Ramirez & Johnny Damon to the media. If you are a low payroll team like the Rays, bringing in Damon ($5+ million) & Manny ($2 million) is not a bad way to get people into the stands for 2011.
Both Manny & Damon are, at best, part-time players with a history of breaking down at 35 + years old. Their best days are behind them. But I'd take the money if someone wanted to give it to me.
It will be interesting to see them return to Fenway for 9 games this season. Maybe Damon won't get as many boo's as when he was a member of the Evil Empire. I hope Manny continues to get boo'ed out of the park.
