There was the link. End of story.

Also, ORS, you and I both know that with VORP, every successive point is harder to achieve than the previous point. You can't "add" the two players and assume they are of the same value. Secondly, the Yankees moved him to LF because they had a better CF option in Melky. Heck, you had Manny DH often...you didn't have to, but Ellsbury in left with Crisp in center was a better defensive alignment.

If you guys really want to believe that you got more out of the last 3 years by letting Damon go...that's your choice, I guess.
