LoriaLovesVegas Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 My boss told me that Yankees plan on announcing they reached a deal with Damon today. His brother works for the Yankees but he has been wrong about a lot of his "insight" about the Jets before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSwift25 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 That would mean that he'd settle on a four year deal, in which case I don't see the Red Sox getting outbid. We shall see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonDigital Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Is it just me or does anyone else think this guy is overrated playing at Fenway most of his career? He is a decent leadoff hitter with lil power and decent speed. His defense is very questionable and has a p***y arm. Perhaps a Boston fan who watches him more can clarify. I would think there is more upside in a Jeremy Reed or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His power numbers dropped considerably in 2005 from 2004. Was he playing injured most of the season or was he focusing more to get on base?

He had a better average, he was a better table setter for us last year then he was in '04, which his focus was. He would have had 10 more points on his average if he didnt have to swing with 1 hand over the last month of the season because his arm was basically dead and he was still the best leadoff hitter in the game last season.

LoriaLovesVegas Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 still waiting for the news. I bet he is wrong. he said nomar and damon will both be yankees but that doesnt make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passion Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Nomar to play 1st base. Are the Yankees actually trying to build somethign or are they just doing the usual buying of names, has beens, and castoffs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Nomar to play 1st base. Are the Yankees actually trying to build somethign or are they just doing the usual buying of names, has beens, and castoffs? Nomar is a better first base option than Andy Phillips and makes the Yankees stronger at a relatively low price, no? I think that is what "building for a championship" is. Just me.

How do you even know how Nomar will play at first base? I would think going after Scott Hatteberg or Doug Mientalpabet would make more sense.

Guest Fritz Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 It'd make more sense to play Giambino at 1B. He's a considerably better hitter when he plays 1B than when he's a DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest markotsay7 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Is it just me or does anyone else think this guy is overrated playing at Fenway most of his career? Actually he played at Kauffman most of his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
