I and the other Jays fans I've spoken to on Twitter all wish him the best, he deserves a World Series ring. Hopefully these players the Jays have received in the trade turn into solid players throughout this season in whichever team line up they're played in. From the articles I've read about Damon, he seems a bit arrogant, but I'm sure that's all part of the game and the players in it. Can't imagine for a second he'll be without a club come March.

They claim: "Lowell has a torn radial collateral ligament in his right thumb and will have surgery after Christmas". We'll see what impact that has on the two teams' offseason plans.
