flavum Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 If he signs with the Sox, he'll be booed so bad in Detroit. That'll be a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderBolt Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I'm gonna say it. I think we're going to get him, and i couldn't be happier. It was worth all this rotating DH s***, all my pontificating and all the b****ing, if we wind up with Damon. Come spring training, i might just give KW a hug.

jphat007 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I wonder if he means its worth 4.5 TOTAL with Deferals (IE like 2 mil 'up front') or if it is 4.5 'now' with more deferred down the line on top of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was worth all this rotating DH s***, all my pontificating and all the b****ing, if we wind up with Damon. Come spring training, i might just give KW a hug. I think that you're right. If he's willing to go down that far in value, Detroit must be a major turn-off for one or both of them. Damon wouldn't single-handedly propel us to the Central title, but he'd make the lineup look much more complete and competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 04:22 PM) How much is deffered? Damon must really not like Detroit. If the present day value is $4.5M then that means there's probably another ~$2.5M differed. $7M makes an awful lot of sense even if 36% is differed.

ThunderBolt Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I'm thinking about running some Sox projections with Damon in the lineup. I think i'll use CHONE this time, becasue James is a bit too optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
