Will you boo or cheer Johnny Damon when he comes marching into the stadium?

I’m not happy that the Johnny Damon Era appears to be over for the Yankees. And I’m even less happy that Nick Johnson is the new DH. But, unlike Red Sox fans did, I plan on cheering Damon whenever he does come back to Yankee Stadium. And I would cheer even louder if he and the Yankees could somehow come to terms, and bring him back next year.

Look, I didn’t expect both Damon and Hideki Matsui to come back. But I also didn’t expect Matsui to get such a cheap deal with the Angels – $6.5 million for a one-year deal. Or for him to be “replaced” with somebody more injury-prone than he is. So what if Johnson is younger – he can’t stay healthy.

While I was happy with the Curtis Granderson deal, I’m not happy with these other moves. But I will try to be optimistic that Brian Cashman has something good up his sleeve. A year ago this week, he gave us the best Christmas gift possible, with Mark Teixeira. Is it too much to ask for some other move this week to make Red Sox wail and gnash their teeth? Dare to dream!
