New York Media Rips Damon

When you look at the players the Red Sox let go or traded in the last few year you have to say the team made some very good choices. Nomar and Pedro cannot put a season together without getting injured and when they are in the lineup their performance is a shell of what it once was. Johnny Damon can now be put in the same catagory. The New York sports website SNY.tv wrote the following about Damon today:

“Johnny Damon continues to hit weak flies to right field like he’s swinging a Wiffle ball bat…. YouNew York Media Rips Damon don’t want to overreact to the early season. That’s a natural tendency given how long we wait for games that once again count. But thinking the glass is half empty with Damon is not an unreasonable position at the moment, I’m afraid. It doesn’t help matters that he should be a designated hitter given the embarrassing condition of his throwing arm, which literally is Little League-caliber.”

The days of Sox fans wishing for the idiot back in center are long gone; we now have 2 centerfielders who are better than Damon. Hey, maybe the Yanks want to trade for Coco?
