[...] Buster Olney notes this morning that the Yankees sifted through their outfield options during their organizational meetings, and two names that aren’t options (for whatever reasons) are Matt Holliday and Jason Bay. I’m guessing it’s the combination of lots of dollars and lots of years. Olney says that Johnny Damon remains their top target for left field, but only if he comes down to $7-8M for a year or two. Plan B is Mike Cameron, who we’re very much a fan of. [...]

Cashman’s “getting younger” theme will be losing lots of water if Cameron wears a Yankee uniform. Curtis Granderson – if actually available without giving up every prospect (or supposed prospect) – gives the Yanks a leadoff batter as well as getting the average age of their starting outfield closer to 30 than 40 (never a bad thing).

alright lets just get this over with for cashman’s infatuation with mike cameron. its like what my uncle did with my cousin when she had a similar crush on their dirtbag neighbor boy. Let her date him for a couple of weeks till he got arrested for stealing a pack of cigs at 7-Eleven and let it be done for good.

I don’t think Holliday will get that kind of deal. If the Yankees have reservations, then what about everyone else. I think he will get around 6/96 or maybe 5/100. With a signing bonus or front-loading the deal, the Yankees could lessen the risk in the later years, if that’s the main concern.

Or when even the best hitters in baseball make some sort of out 60% of the time.

McClouth… is a better, a much better option than Mike.

The historical record disagrees with you. Mike Cameron has been the better player, by quite a wide margin, than Nate McLouth has been, strikeouts and all.

Cameron plays a better defense, makes outs at a smaller rate, and hits the ball harder and for more power than McLouth does.
