I think what led to Damon's departure is similar to what led to Pettitte's departure in NY.. We took him for granted too much to return, and didnt give him the attention and respect that he deserved... They felt slighted by their team, and decided to go to a team that gave them more attention i guess..
As for getting just a managable SS, 1B, and CF.. hrm.. I guess if you get torii or andruw next yr it'll work out well, but i dont see either teams letting their marquee players leave.. even with Atlanta's constant monetary struggles.. I think they'll keep him.. I think you underestimate Renteria and Millar.. I think they were solid players, despite Edgar's strugglind defense.. and Lowell could be a very big downgrade from Mueller if he doesnt improve..
