Damon Blinking?

Reports this morning say the Yanks and Johnnny Damon are engaging in negotiations that would return Johnny to the Yankees. Of cours, the Yanks have all the leverage here and I'd be surprised if Johnny gets more than one year. But going year to year with these older guys is a great way to go. Meanwhile, the Yanks susprised everyone by picking up Dodger Jamie Hoffmann with the first pick of the Rule 5 draft this morning. Hoffmann is a righty who rakes against lefties, but is just okay overall. But, Hoffman can play all three OF positions as well as first and third. If Damon returns, or some other LF is acquired, Hoffman's presence might make Melky or Brett Gardner trade bait, especially since OF Colin Curtis was NOT lost in the Rule 5 this morning. Keep it going, Cash!

Unless Damon folds like a cheap suit, I don't want him back. Boras's prevaricating negotiating style is beyond offensive.

I think Melky could be gone.

I hate Damon but if he is here ghen why not sign Cameron to split LF and DH with Damon. It will keep them both fresh and Cameron can play CF against a tough lefty.
