Yankees Damon says the team has a good chance of making playoffs next year
AP - Wednesday, November 28
BANGKOK, Thailand - Johnny Damon said Tuesday that his New York Yankees have
a good shot at making the playoffs next season, despite a young pitching
staff.
Speaking on a visit to Bangkok, the Thai-American centerfielder said once the
Bronx Bombers make the playoffs "anything can definitely happen."
"We're kind of in a strange situation right now. We're going with a lot of
young pitchers but they're good young pitchers," Damon said. "They keep the
club house fun and that's what we need. And I think we're going to do real
good. I think we're going to compete for a playoff spot."
Damon, whose mother is Thai, spent the day visiting an orphanage as part of a
U.S. Embassy-sponsored trip. He also met Bangkok Gov. Aprirak Kosayodhin and
took part in a youth baseball game at an international school.
Damon, meanwhile, welcomed the signing of MVP third baseman Alex Rodriguez to
a negotiated a $275 million, 10-year contract earlier this month, saying
"he's one of the best players we have ever seen."
"I'm more than happy for him," Damon said. "Hopefully the fans can understand
how great of a player he is, how great of a teammate he is. Just because he
makes a lot of money doesn't mean you should boo him."
Damon said the two players often discussed their future last season, in which
Rodriguez led the majors with 54 homers, 143 runs scored and 156 runs batted
in but flopped in the playoffs as the Yankees lost to Cleveland.
"I'm glad that he stepped in and made sure the deal got done. We talked a lot
last year about leaving team or staying with the team," Damon said. "He
sounded like he wanted to stay with the team last year. He wants to be in New
York. He likes everything in New York."
