Damon puts Angels high on his list The Boston outfielder will be a free agent this winter. He says the team would be a good fit for him. By MARK SAXON THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER BOSTON – He's probably baseball's best leadoff man and he figures to be the top free agent available this winter. His new rock-star image would play well in Southern California. Johnny Damon said Thursday the Angels would be his No. 2 choice of future employer. "Anaheim's right behind Boston as far as teams on the list," Damon said. "I love Southern California. The weather is awesome, I like the team, I love (Manager) Mike Scioscia, I love their pitching staff, I love Orlando Cabrera. A lot of things about it make sense." Damon is batting .321 with 103 runs scored and a .369 on-base percentage. Many Red Sox observers consider him the team MVP, even though David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez have each driven in more than 115 runs. In some ways, Damon's skills would better suit an Angels' offense. The Red Sox disdain the running game, stacking their lineup with patient sluggers. Damon, 31, has just 14 stolen bases this year. He stole 46 in 2000 with the Kansas City Royals. "You just don't want to take the bat out of these guys' hands. With the Angels, you wouldn't want to run with Vlad up, but there would be a lot of other chances," Damon said. With Steve Finley batting .215 and already benched, it's doubtful he'll enter next spring as the everyday center fielder. Asked if Finley might find his role in doubt next spring, Angels general manager Bill Stoneman said, "Yeah, but it's a premature question." He wouldn't comment on Damon because of tampering rules."No matter what anybody else says, it's going to come down to what we want to do," Stoneman said. Initial reports are that Damon's agent, Scott Boras, will seek a deal in the 4-5 year range worth roughly $10 million per year.

well 8 of 8 predictions for the Pats to win was unaminous and 100% right Oakland does have the offense to carry themselves, but god damn keepl playing the way they do in committing penalties (14 last night) thats gonna hurt them a lot

Thanks Embree and Bellhorn after reading these articles, you just made it much easier for me to take pride in booing and rooting against you :thumbdown

wow i will say raiders have offensive abilities to make ot all the way, but won't make it that far if keep making up to 50 penalties a game. haha are they like now up to 25?

dude cut your f***ing rants on edgah, it wasnt edgah who cost the game, dumbass. It was the whole f***ing offense. he wasnt only one who struck out. In the 8th Manny continued his power slide striking out with 2 man on, papi struck out with bases loaded. In the 9th John Olerud led off by striking out, Millar struck out with 2 men on, and then Petagine struck out with bases loaded to end the game. 9 men left on base wasnt because of Edgar. By the way Edgah was 1 of the 5 Sox batters to get a hit, his was a double

besides im allowed to rant and get all of this steam out of me before I blow a gasket

i know that but to leave bases loaded back to back innings, last 6 outs were all Ks, i dont find a sox shutout any great game. clement did not deserve that loss

pinch hit with 2 on and nobody out, begins a string of 6 straight Sox batters to strike out

thats the f***ing game!! thank you, you anemic offense and good luck against another pitcher havent really faced before in Shawn Chacon :thumbdown :thumbdown :thumbdown

i still dont undesrtand why manny came to pinch hit for tony, at least tony has been hitting the ball right

strikes out the side----only thing good about this game was the pitching, thank you for that anemic frigging offense boys

edgahh also K's, papi up now

bases loaded for edgahhhhh

sit your lazy ass down manny

pitching change, byrd is out, shields who gave up the walkoff to ortiz is in

oh s*** manny is pinch hitting for him

mueller walked, cmon tony G!!!

millar getting it done, a double, so close to being a homerun to straight away center field

ok our pitching has been great through first 8 innings, i swear to god if lose the game its all on the offense

hit batters always spells doom for the Sox, no outs with men on the corners

Clement gives free base to Vlad

Double by Cantu, 6-0

9 pitch 1-2-3 inning, 13 retired in a row----Sox didnt get runs off of him in Anaheim until the 8th inning, Clement would feel much better and confident even if Sox got the game tied at 1

Edgar swung at 1st pitch he saw, 12 in a row retired by Byrd
