I don't have any hesitation in what to expect from Johnny Damon. I sense that he's not going to have any problems, emotionally, in handling it.

Johnny was certainly the face of that ball club. They have a lot of great players, but Johnny Damon was the first guy you had to see every night. I took notice of Johnny Damon long before he got to Boston. I always felt he was a special kid.

Coco Crisp is not Johnny Damon.

I don't know about Johnny Damon still. He has to prove himself just like everybody else.

It's hard to not ask for an autograph. We went to the banquet and here I was around Johnny Damon and everyone. The way you are treated, this has all been so unreal.

Coco Crisp is not Johnny Damon. He's his own player. He brings his own strengths.
