Player Notes
March 10, 2010
Johnny Damon will be out for at least the next few days with a minor case of turf toe, according to MLB.com's Jason Beck.

Our View:Look for Damon to return to action sometime next week, and he should be completely fine by the start of the season. Don't let this bit of news affect your ranking of him heading into your draft.
February 24, 2010
Skipper Jim Leyland is considering using Johnny Damon in the No. 2 spot in the Tigers' batting order, according to MLB.com.

Our View:Austin Jackson would be the top candidate to bat leadoff in that scenario. Leyland noted that Damon had a good year with the Yankees from the second spot in 2009, and wants to use him where he will be the most effective.
February 21, 2010
An anonymous source close to Johnny Damon reported to the Associated Press that he has passed his physical with the Detroit Tigers, completing the one-year $8 million deal.

Our View:So Damon is officially a Tiger. He is expected to take over the leadoff role that was left open by the departure of Curtis Granderson, but fantasy owners should proceed with caution when considering Damon this season. Now that he's out of the hitter friendly confines of New York his stats will likely take a hit. Most notably his power numbers.
February 20, 2010
It has been confirmed that Johnny Damon agreed to a one-year deal with the Tigers worth $8MM, according to the Associated Press. The contract is pending a physical.

Our View:The 36-year-old vet should see regular playing time in left field, and there is also belief he will serve as the Tigers' lead-off hitter - hence filling the void left by the departure of Curtis Granderson to New York. The Braves and White Sox were the other teams interested in acquiring Damon.
February 20, 2010
Updating an earlier report, Johnny Damon's one-year deal with the Tigers is believed to be worth around $8MM, according to Tim Brown's (Yahoo! Sports) twitter page.

Our View:The veteran outfielder will be motivated to perform well this season, in his bid to reel in another contract. As of now, it does not appear that his contract with Detroit has an option for 2011.
