Should the Brewers have gone after Damon?

With Corey Hart's arbitration giving him now 4.8 million, should the Brewers have jumped in on Johnny Damon, while declining arbitration or trading Corey Hart? Probably not, but with the devaluing of old players and the now lack of value that arbitration players get in comparison to the current market.
