Kepner's latest on Cameron
Scott Proctor's Arm - A New York Yankees Blog —
Tyler Kepner posted his latest update on the Mike Cameron for Melky Cabrera trade. In talking to some people involved today, I get the feeling the Yankees are backing away from a potential Melky Cabrera-for-Mike Cameron trade with the Milwaukee Brewers, at least for now. There’s a deal the teams could make, and while I’m not sure of the particulars, at this point the Yankees’ main question is baseball-related, not financial. We know they do not value Cameron at $10 million, which is why they wanted the Brewers to include some money — ...

... The pitching is fat, but the pickings slim in center: The Bats Blog, postulates that Mike Cameron might not be an upgrade over these guys: "Cabrera was awful last season, with an on-base percentage of just .301 in 129 games. Brett Gardner, the other in-house candidate to play center, had a .283 O.B.P. in 42 games. If the Yankees are considering replacing those players, maybe they don’t value them very highly." ...
