On the Damon and Manny signing, you sort of wonder if the two decided to be a package deal. $2MM for Manny? He lost 4 times that on his 50 game drug suspension.
Neyer already is talking about something I thought about when I pushed a bit for a Damon signing here - he may end up at first base. He apparently practices there and is quite open to the move. At $5.25 MM for one year, and with our pretty desperate need for top of the order hitters and his dead pull swing, I really wonder if we missed the boat in bringing in LaRoche instead of him and deciding not to go with Morse / Damon at first and left.
