If we had a spot for him, sure. But KW and co. seem pretty satisfied with De Aza, Rios and Viciedo in the outfield.

Last year was kind of a low year for Damon, but he puts up a good OBP would make a good lead off man or #2 hitter.

If we could do a platoon of Rios/ Damon/ De Aza I would be ok with it.

Damon???? Sure. Gotta be good ribs. Only you Dews have a shot at that reference as it relates to sports. Everyone else pretty much is way too young

If he were cheap, I'd give him a shot, but at this point I like the OF we have, minus Rios of course. Let these guys play and get some experience.

Damon is the EXACT type of player the White Sox go for, but he's not completely washed up yet. That's when he'll pique the interest of KW. Give him 2 more years when he's completely worthless and KW will stick him in center.

I want someone with at least a 350 OBP to lead off. While Damon's OBP has been above 350 for all of his career, last year it was 321 and his speed factor, while still good, is in decline as well. His contact rate has been steady but his BB/K ratio has dropped to 29%. That worries me.

If the sox do something, they better make it a 1-year deal. I smell another Juan Pierre type player where he has one resurgent year and then falls in the crapper.

Anything more than 1 year would be a wash, but if he were cheap, he'd be a beneficial top of the order guy.
