I think you are putting a little too much value into Melky.
To be able to acquire an absolute STUD third baseman for
1)a CF who's two years have produced OPS+'s of 95 and 89, with not much hope of power developing in the future

A good defensive CF with an OPS+ of 90 is probably league average. Add in the fact he is very young, very cheap, and should improve gives you a very valuable player. Damon isn't going to outhit melky enough to make up for the difference in defense.
