The DH spot will be open as it should with an older team. There are enough aging vet dh free agents to sign one right and left to pinch hit and cover the spot if required. Patience will be the mantra this year as money will be tighter and last year's Abreu will be the norm. We'll hear talk of collusion for certain but patience will be rewarded.

If Damon doesn't resign, I'd go with Figgins (bad ALCS and all), bat him second and keep Melk as the primary CFer. Figgins should be able to move Jeter along and won't hit into DP's - Could bat him leadoff, but Jeter had such a great year in the leadoff spot. Figgy can play most of the positions as well as backup to the backup catcher - he'd be a nice weapon to have although I think Damon's offense would be missed in spots.

At $5 M, the goods sales and Japanese sponsorships/ads make it +ve cash for the Yankees.. He can always come back to Japan for Johjima numbers (he just signed 4yr $20 M) to kill time before retirement.. I don`t think he`d go to the Royals/Pirates for an extra year/cash, which I suspect isn`t necessarily the case with Damon/Boras.
