Here's Johnny!!!

Johnny Damon claimed on waivers by Boston Red Sox - ESPN Boston

I didn't know what I wanted to call this one, but went with the classic for the title.

Think fans will cheer him @ Fenway?

[Tobywan]

Funny, they are on his no trade list.

[redsfan28]

Just because he's claimed doesn't mean he will go there. They could always pull him back (even though they want to dump him)

[catman]

He has 48 hours to decide if he goes or not.

[Kingdom]

I'd give him a week or two before he's placed on the DL now.

If the Red Sox do end up with Damon again, does he begin growing the Jesus beard again?

[love_that_reefer]

Don't do it Johnny! Red Sox fans crucified you when you left. You're nothing but old rag arm.

[Tobywan]

The Rays aren't on his no no list, I'd rather have him than Manny.

[Foster]

I assume the Sox made this move as a way to block the Rays.

[love_that_reefer]

That and they can actually use him. Olney is reporting he is likely to return. I would say no.

[Tobywan]

I assume the Sox made this move as a way to block the Rays.

It's actually nice to be in the position of having them want to keep someone from us.

[Kingdom]

He can still hit, he would have been really useful as a DH for Tampa. And for Boston, before the inevitable trip to the disabled list.

Damon officially rejects the Red Sox Good for him

[Tobywan]

No surprise, you don't put a team on your no trade list if you WANT to play for them. Sounds like he saw through the "gesture" and knows he would be just a rental player and moving again after the season, why bother?.

[love_that_reefer]

I think he heard what Red Sox fans had to say about him after he left and said "**** you guys".
