With the general manager meetings set to begin tomorrow, Mark Feinsand floats the idea of Johnny Damon being traded to the White Sox for third baseman Joe Crede.

Crede, whose 2007 was cut short by back surgery, hit .216 with 4 home runs, 22 RBIs and a .258 OBA. In 2006, he played in 150 games, hitting .283 with 30 home runs, 94 RBIs and a .323 OBA. For his career, he is a .259 hitter with a .305 OBA. Betemit's career marks are better than that, though in far fewer games.
