Mike Cameron in Serious Talks with Boston

[Yawkey Way]

Bay disappeared when we needed him the most. When everyone was hitting Bay was putting up big numbers, but down the stretch when the offense needed someone to step up big he was not there.

6:38pm: It is "believed" that Cameron would play right field for the BoSox, writes Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com.

Move Drew over to Left...?

Stupid Red Sox. Just move Ellsbury to LF. Cameron in RF doesn't make sense.

Theo doesn't suck in FA, we have the money and he's going to spend it. I'm not too mad about giving Mike Cameron 7 million a year, even if he's our 4th outfielder in '11.

Putouts in a game mean nothing. Those can be completely dependent on having a flyball pitcher.

Cameron kills Ellsbury defensively according to most of the metrics.

The past two years in CF Cameron had a UZR of 11.3 and 10.0. Outside of a down year in 2007 in SD Cameron has put up monster UZR numbers in CF. Career 39.0, which is pretty spectacular.

Ellsbury is solid but he had a pretty awful year in CF last year according to UZR: -18.6.

Career he's been a better defender in LF 10.1 UZR in LF, -16.4 CF.

Granted it's a small sample size, but I don't think there's a way you can move Cameron over for Ellsbury. Cameron is one of the top in the league.

lmao, i guess sarcasm doesnt travel well over the internet

but thanks for some of the info, i count put outs for fielders just as much as i count wins for pitchers

[FedEx227]

Oh okay. Just making sure I thought you were better than that, but you can never be sure.

Continue on.
