A baseball executive says former Yankees outfielder Johnny Damon “is going to be lucky to get whatever he gets,” if he signs somewhere.
The AL exec told MLive.com that Damon and agent Scott Boras misjudged the market for the 36-year-old outfielder.
…
“Sometimes, we ask for too much,” the source, requesting anonymity, told writer Steve Kornacki. “Then, the smoke clears and you ask, ‘Where am I?’ And now, I can’t believe anybody is going to offer Damon more than the $14 million and $6 million the Yankees did.
“If you turn them down for that, you deserve one year for $3 million or whatever he is going to get. In February, teams have got guys in place. My feeling is that now he is going to be lucky to get whatever he gets. It’s still supply and demand in this game. And Johnny’s arrow is in the middle or going down.”
Well, maybe not all wit. Sorry Damon, you’ve now lost it all….

I got hit up from a friend with free tix to the Yankees vs Red Sox game tonight. What a match up. You would have thought with a pitching match up of Schilling vs Pettitte that this would be a pitchers duel but the Yankees opened up the 1st inning with 3 runs and didn’t look back closing out the Sox in the first game of the series 8 to 3.
