Marlins acquire Mike Cameron....

[StrasburgMania]

Marlins get: Mike Cameron and cash

Red Sox get: player to be named or cash considerations.

Nice!

Hopefully he does better with them.

I really like Cameron as a person, but his aging bat is something to be desired.

I figured something like this was coming for them to DFA him and his contract instead of Darnell McDonald.

Great guy. I hope he does well

last year when he was rehabbing in Pawtuckett, the Celtics were playing Cleveland in the playoffs. He rented a suite at the garden, called all the clubhouse guys up in Boston, went by, picked them up and treated them all to the game.

Either the next game or soon after, Beckett rented a suite, invited all the clubhouse guys - but everyone had to pay.

im guessing they want his veteran leadership coming off the bench as a 4th outfielder

Mike Cameron may be one of the coolest baseball players ever. A buddy of mine is in a wheelchair & went to a Mariners game a few years ago and was sitting in a section where it was really hard to see action. In pregame, Cameron came up to him and said why are you sitting here, you need to come behind home plate. Long story short, my friend sat behind home plate for the game and [strike:1yrn8qj0]walked out[/strike:1yrn8qj0] rolled out with an autographed bat.

Even when Cammy was in Seattle, he didn't have a good bat..

He was a awesome CF though.. We've been spoiled here in Seattle.. Griffey, Cammy, now Guti..

RF was Buhner then Ichiro..


Too bad LF has the revolving door..

So he wasn't really needing the wheelchair? :lol:

Ha Ha Ha, seriously though Cameron is a good guy, I would like to have seen him back to the Mariners uniform; he can't be worse in the left-field then anyone that is playing there now.

I would have campaigned for him to come back to Milwaukee for just this reason.

I love Cammy.

The cash is likely to be more valuable than Mike Cameron at this point.

One of my favorite players
