June 27, 200619 yr Author I posted this thread on June 11th. Since then, Cameron has hit 6 HRs in 12 games. (Plus Dave Roberts, who could have slid over to CF, has gone on the DL.) Ah well. He would have been a great addition. Now, he'd likely be too pricey.

They have no long term investment in him, and until recently he wasn't helping them at all offensively. I'm also still reasonably concerned that Brian Anderson isn't going to come around. If Uribe keeps hitting, and Pods hits closer to his May numbers rather than his June totals, we can get by with one out in the lineup. But to pass the Tigers and secure home field, it is going to take a torrid pace, and we are going to need all the help we can get. I'd still ask SD what they would want for Cameron. He's about the only outfielder that could be on the market who could approach Anderson's defense.
