His numbers didn't leap out at us last year, but his potential did. <BR/><BR/>Cameron is Tony Womack, just a guy who makes a ton of money and sits in front of somebody who might make a difference. If he has a big month of April, bet the house he'll have an awful month of May. We know exactly what we're getting. You're right: 25 HR is nothing to sneer at. But all those strikeouts. And age 36. You'd think a guy would learn, maybe transform his game. Cameron has not been able to do that. <BR/><BR/>I know, he's a stand-up guy. Everybody loves him. I remember Rondell White fondly, even though he never hit a lick for us. But I believe we are going to piss Gardner right down the tubes, never even give him a chance, and it will happen when he have a gaping hole in centerfield.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-89115796069786139232008-12-11T23:52:00.000-05:002008-12-11T23:52:00.000-05:00Low, sure, I'll grant you that, but they could've ...Low, sure, I'll grant you that, but they could've done a lot worse in drawing out a trade. It's a decided step up.. even if it's a questionable, potentially injury-laden step up. I'd say there's benefits for both teams.adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02205375069396286222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-75649037274630328202008-12-11T17:06:00.000-05:002008-12-11T17:06:00.000-05:00Adam, We are historically more negative than we pr...Adam, <BR/><BR/>We are historically more negative than we probably should be. It's a defense mechanism. I've watched Alphonso say things about the Yankees we'd never let a Redsock fan get away with, but it's only because it hurts him so much when the Yankees lose, he needed something to hold onto.<BR/><BR/>But it's not a very spirited defense when you say ..."it's not the worst deal ever by a long shot." You might be setting the bar a little low, eh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-12436482119226974452008-12-11T16:42:00.000-05:002008-12-11T16:42:00.000-05:00I don't understand why it's so bad.

Yeah, he's old, but he's still better defensively in CF than anybody else on the team save Melky (and better than most of the league, I should add), and his bat is no worse than average. 25 homeruns is nothing to turn your nose at when Melky would've been our best option otherwise.<BR/><BR/>You guys are so fucking negative sometimes for no good reason... it's not that bad of a move. Was it a fair trade altogether? Probably not, but it's not the worst deal ever by a long shot.adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02205375069396286222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-5828698596287547732008-12-11T14:11:00.000-05:002008-12-11T14:11:00.000-05:00I just puked in my mouth and shit in my pants at t...I just puked in my mouth and shit in my pants at the same time...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-14316538975766237392008-12-11T13:31:00.000-05:002008-12-11T13:31:00.000-05:00I'm removing all sharp objects from my house.
