Damon deserves a little bonus for his base stealing/speed and excellent low strike out rate

Please explain why Damon deserves a bonus for his low strikeout rate. What does it matter how often a player strikes out? An out is an out.

Because you can make an out and advance runners. Not every out is equal.

Strikeouts are basicaly equal to other outs when you factor in hitting into double plays along with these factors you just mentioned. Though maybe since Damon is fast, his groundouts could be worth slightly more than someone with average speed.
