What's $7 million dollars anyway?

According to the Toronto Blue Jays official web site Johnny Damon is considering the Toronto Blue Jays as a potential option for next season.

After the Yankees signed Randy Winn to a contract last week it became clear that maybe Damon and his agent, Scott Boras, might have made a bit of a mistake looking for a long term deal for a 36 year old outfielder who throws like a girl.

Since Cito Gaston and Alex Anthopoulos have stated that the olny outfielder with any gaurenteed spot was the incredibly washed-up Vernon Wells and that the prime candidate for the lead off spot in the batting order is, according to Jays management, Jose Bautista there is room for improvement.

The asking price for a one year deal for Johnny Damon is $7 million dollars.

Last year for the Yankees Damon did have a great season. He batted .282, hit 24 homeruns, drove in 82 runs while hitting in the number 2 spot behind Derek Jeter.

The difference in Toronto will be, of course, that he had runners on base for the Yankees and not just the Mormon Masher, John Buck, in the lineup everyday.

So $7 million for a 36 year old left fielder with an arm like a girl? Decisions!
