Damon doesn't have the speed or range that he used to, and the Trop has a big center field.

Damon isn't going to play center field and hasn't in years. And there is no chance when the Rays have an Upton already playing Center. He's likely to platoon out in left.

I think there are two good low risk signings. Neither Damon or Manny got that much, should make up for the loss of Pena at least.

With Manny, they got locker-room poison at a good price, though.

Damon has played left most recently.
