It's not so much that we want to believe we got more, we got a WS title and an ALCS Game 7 with the players that comprised the Red Sox in the post-Damon years and it's hard to make a case that the team would've been more successful if the FO had matched or surpassed the Yankees offer way back in December 2005
You can't judge it based simply on using VORP with Damon vs. Crisp or Damon vs. Ellsbury or Damon vs. Ellsbury + Crisp. Signing Damon maybe would've put budget constraints on the team that would've prevented the team signing Drew, for example.
