Damon to the Tigers

Detroit has reportedly signed Johnny Damon to a 1 year 8 million dollar deal. I’m not exactly surprised, but I don’t think the Tigers are going to get the production Damon had in 2009- at least from a power numbers standpoint. The one thing I do see coming in handy is guys feeding off of [...]

If anyone has forgotten, Sheets missed 2009 recovering from tendon surgery in his pitching forearm and yes that is not as serious as the feared Tommy John surgery.
