Johnny Damon believes he can out hit half the league....

The 40-year-old Damon last played for Cleveland in 2012, but isn't quite ready for retirement.
"When you feel you can still outhit at least half the league and you don't get that call, it's rough," Damon told The Associated Press in a phone interview Friday. "The biggest reason to play is to have a chance to win. Obviously, 3,000 hits would be great but winning is the reason I started playing this game. I'm going to continue to stay in shape and I'll be ready."
quote:
Damon signed with the Indians on April 17, 2012, batted .222 in 64 games and was released on Aug. 9 that year.
"After Cleveland, it seems like everyone said I'm finished," Damon said. "I wanted to go to spring training, see if I have it and if the swing and the body don't come around, walk away with that peace of mind."
Damon said his agent, Scott Boras, hasn't presented him with offers because perhaps they were "too embarrassing."

I like Damon, and maybe he can still hit, I many Abreu and Ibanez are still doing it

Damon looks around the majors and sees 43-year-old Jason Giambi (Cleveland) and 42-year-old Raul Ibanez (Kansas City) hanging around. Carlos Pena, a career .232 hitter, recently signed with Texas and is 3 for 33. Greg Dobbs was 7 for 41 this season for Miami and Washington. Bobby Abreu returned to the majors after sitting out 2013. The 40-year-old was cut by the Phillies in spring training, signed with the Mets and is hitting .274 (26 for 95).

I've noticed a lot of players in the league with really really low averages, even a good amount in the .100-.200 range. I'm sorry but even if he hasn't played in 2 years, I'm pretty sure Johnny Damon can hit at least .220, a lot better than some other hitters I've been seeing who look like automatic outs.

two years ago he hit .220 and you think he can do better than that after not playing since then?

He certainly wouldn't win a long toss contest.

He's a punk. Thanks for 04 though

If he can play first base the Rangers should give him a try. He can't be any worse than what they've put out there already.

That feeling is probably the most normal thing in sports.
The last person to know they can no longer play is the aging star, or good player, himself.
SVG talks a lot about the aging superstar being the toughest type of player to coach.

I'd jump on my high horse too if the current Red Sox starting CF was hitting higher than .200.
