I'm well aware of Damon's shortcomings but the post above that says he's a cheap alterntaive to Bay is right on. A team is a portfolio of players...Damon would not be as good as Bay but he'd leave $$ for other needs and could be had for far fewer than 5 years. minaya is not capable of thinking this way. wtf happened to this guy - he stole xavier nady and put chad bradford in the bullpen. he looked like a god going into 2006 (except the retarded pedro signing) and how he can't do anything but throw top dollar at the shiniest free agents.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('157238','Stork'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('157238','Stork','Paul L - the rings mean he has been associated with winning.\r\n\r\nI\'m well aware of Damon\'s shortcomings but the post above that says he\'s a cheap alterntaive to Bay is right on.

It took the Crankees the entire 80s and half of the 90s before they were good. And the key is home-grown talent. The Crankees? Jeter, Posada, Mariano, Bernie. The Phillies? Utley, Howard, Victorino, Hamels. Even the Braves of the 90s had all those pitchers -- Glavine, Avery, etc. I don't want patch up jobs with other people's castoffs. I can wait for a real good team that I can call my own. Omar -- please start scouting better and start signing some draft picks.
