[MAC16]

sorry if this has already been posted but i didnt see it.. braves have offered johnny damon a 1 year deal..
your thoughts if he signs?

Great signing if he signs. He can bat leadoff...Braves have needed a good and true leadoff guy for quite some time.

IMO this would be great for the braves. They always seem to turn the over the hill guys into a superstar again.

Good signing for the Braves, he played well last year, and always plays his ass off. I would have loved to see him back here in Boston. At least with him on a team other than the Yankees some people may be able to like him here again.

I'm not too terribly excited about offering him a contract, but I'm not as opposed to it as most Braves fans seem to be. As long Melky is the odd man out, I'd be okay with it.

Love this if he signs. Line up he signs IMO, Glaus and Mclouth are interchangeable.

1) Damon
2) Escobar
3) Chipper
4) McCann
5) Mclouth
6) Glaus
7) Diaz/Cabrera/Heyward
8) Prado
9) Pitcher

im ecstatic about this if it happens.. we have needed a good leadoff hitter ever since furcal left.. i think this signing could put the playoffs back in atlanta where they belong!!!

Is Heyward coming up this year?

BIG siging for the Braves if it happens!

I hope it works out for him. I was hoping he'd resign with the Yankees...he always busted his butt and played well.

That is one huge cluster of OF's if the Braves sign him.

Damon, McClouth, Melky, Blanco, Diaz, Hinske and Schafer

Schafer and Blanco would not get thru waivers.

Is Heyward coming up this year?

Most likely, with the possibility of making the opening day roster. This is the only reason I'm not so excited about Damon, as it could delay Jason's arrival.

I'd rather have Heyward get 2 months of AAA time, I don't want to see an Alex Gordon redux.
