Tex will also come a lot cheaper, and in today's economy, I'm sure that's rather appealing to the Steinbrenners.
He's also an overpaid DH. Regardless of a good season, he still makes too much money for what he now does.
Money is not an issue to the Steinbrenners. Did Hank go or want to go hard after Johan last year? Cashman seems to have the problem spending money. What Damon makes has no relevance to me, or should until Steinbrenner says the Yankees need to control their payroll. -Petey
I'm not saying that Damon making an asston of money means squat to me either, I'm just saying that what he does isn't worth his contract. I'm also well-aware that the Stein's have no issue spending money, as long as the money the spend produces a winner.
