Johnny Damon, who hit .222 in 2012, feels he can 'outhit at least half the league' & itches to return

Johnny Damon, who retired in 2012 batting .222 (and played in the Yankees Old Timer's game for Christ's sake), wants back in.

“When you feel you can still outhit at least half the league and you don’t get that call, it’s rough,” Damon said Friday. “The biggest reason to play is to have a chance to win. Obviously, 3000 hits would be great but winning is the reason I started playing this game. I’m going to continue to stay in shape and I’ll be ready.”

MLB is as watered down as any of the other 3 leagues. Losing 4 teams in each would help play immensely. Johnny? Oh boy. He needs to start a website. He'd be a must read.
