Newsbreakers
November 6, 2009
Brewers GM Doug Melvin said on Friday that outfielder Mike Cameron will not be back with the team in 2010 after the club acquired Carlos Gomez in a trade earlier in the day, according to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Our View:
Cameron had a solid season at age 36 in 2009, batting .250 with 24 home runs and 70 RBI. He should find plenty of potential suitors this winter.
October 5, 2009
Mike Cameron is dealing with a minor concussion after making a diving catch in St. Louis on Sunday, according to MLBlogs.com.
Our View:
Cameron has suffered numerous concussions during his 15-year career. After hitting .250 with 24 home runs and 70 RBI in 2009, Cameron is a free agent this offseason.
September 21, 2009
Mike Cameron went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo homers off Tom Gorzelanny in Monday's 10-2 loss to the Cubs at Miller Park.
Our View:
Cameron ended a 16-game drought without a homer, and did so with a vengeance tonight. He now has 21 homers for the season.
September 11, 2009
Mike Cameron is set to return to the Brewers' lineup tonight at Arizona following his bout with a strained right hamstring, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Our View:
He will roam in center field and bat second in the order. Opposing hurler Doug Davis has a 3.81 ERA, and Cameron should be fine for fantasy duty.
September 7, 2009
Mike Cameron is expected to remain on the shelf until at least Friday while recovering from a strained right hamstring, according to MLBblogs.com.
Our View:
Cameron noted that the injury is bad, and is spasming right now. The Brewers have Corey Patterson, Jody Gerut and Jason Bourgeois all available to roam in center field, meaning Cameron should not be rushed back into action.
August 28, 2009
According to FoxSports.com, four Brewers' players have cleared waivers and could be possible trade targets for teams. Mike Cameron, Jason Kendall, Braden Looper, and Craig Counsell are the player who have cleared.
Our View:
Cameron, Kendall, and Counsell are all free agents after this season, so their trade value is decent at this point. Contending teams may be interested in any of the three veterans to either fill starting or bench roles, so don't be shocked if any of them gets moved. As bad as Looper has been this season, it seems unlikely that anyone will be willing to take him on for this year and next, so expect him to stay.
July 29, 2009
Mike Cameron paced the Brewers to a 7-5 win over the Nationals on Wednesday, going 3-for-3 with a home run.
Our View:
Cameron is batting just .256 with 14 home runs this season, and is a fringe option at outfield in mixed leagues.
July 12, 2009
Mike Cameron went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI in the Brewers' 7-4 loss to the Dodgers on Sunday.
Our View:
Cameron has been red hot in July with a .394 average and nine RBI, which is helping to make up for a miserable June where he hit just .153.
July 9, 2009
Mike Cameron went 1-for-3 with a single, and recorded the Brewers' lone RBI in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Cardinals at Miller Park.
Our View:
The Brewers only mustered three hits in the game. Cameron has a hit in five straight games, but only has one RBI over the span.
July 2, 2009
Mike Cameron went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in tonight's 9-5 loss at Chicago. He hit a single, double and a two-run homer off Ryan Dempster.
Our View:
Cameron ended a 19-game drought without a homer, and has 13 for the season. Tonight's shot was his sixth away from Miller Park.
June 23, 2009
Mike Cameron had his first multi-RBI game since June 7 on Tuesday, but the Brewers fell 7-3 to the Twins.
Our View:
After starting out very hot in 2009, Cameron has come way down to earth, and is now batting only .248. He still has reasonable power, but is not the greatest option at outfield. You may want to explore other options if you are an owner.
June 21, 2009
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that Mike Cameron is back in the lineup Sunday after serving his one-game suspension.
Our View:
Feel free to get Cameron back in your lineup. He's not having the best of fantasy campaigns, but can still help in the power department. He has 12 homers and 12 doubles.
June 19, 2009
Mike Cameron's two-game suspension has been trimmed down to one game following his appeal hearing, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. He was suspended for making contact with an umpire in Atlanta.
Our View:
Cameron will play Friday at Detroit, and will serve his suspension tomorrow. Adjust your lineups accordingly.
June 11, 2009
Mike Cameron is not in the Brewers starting lineup today against the Rockies as manager Ken Macha is giving him and other slumping players the day off according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Our View:
Cameron is just 4-for-25 in June and has only one home run and two RBIs. You might want to consider benching him until he emerges from this funk.
June 9, 2009
Digital Sports Daily is reporting that Brewers' center fielder Mike Cameron has been suspended two games and fined an undisclosed amount of money for his actions in the ninth inning of Saturday's game at Atlanta. Cameron has filed an appeal, so he will be able to play Tuesday when the Brewers take on the Rockies at Miller Park.
Our View:
Cameron made contact with an umpire while arguing a call on Saturday, and the league hit him with the suspension after reviewing the incident. These suspension appeals usually take forever, so Cameron should be safe in fantasy lineups for awhile unless he drops the appeal at some point.
June 3, 2009
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Mike Cameron is back in the lineup for Wednesday's game after missing a game with shoulder and knee soreness.
Our View:
Cameron will start in center field and hit fifth behind Prince Fielder. He is good to insert back into fantasy lineups.
June 2, 2009
Updating an earlier report, Mike Cameron is not in tonight's lineup due to his knee ailment, according to MLBblogs.com.
Our View:
Jody Gerut replaces him in center field. Cameron should be held out of fantasy lineups until further notice.
June 2, 2009
MLB.com is reporting that Mike Cameron will have his left knee re-evaluated Tuesday after his tendinitis flared up "more than normal" in Monday night's game. It is not known yet whether he will play Tuesday night or not.
Our View:
The prognosis sounds iffy, and with Cameron's injury history it appears as if he will probably miss Tuesday night's game, if not a few more. Jody Gerut (1 for 11 in a Brewer uniform) will get the start should Cameron not be able to go.
June 1, 2009
Mike Cameron left Monday's game at Florida with knee irritation, according to MLBblogs.com.
Our View:
The ailment is believed to be minor, and Cameron is considered day-to-day.
May 31, 2009
Mike Cameron left the park for the second-straight day on Sunday, going 2-for-4 with his 11th home run and three RBI.
Our View:
While his .286 batting average is likely to dip, Cameron continues to provide fine power at the plate, while his speed should start to pick up as well. He's one of just four players since the turn of the century with at least 200 home runs and 200 stolen bases, joined by Alfonso Soriano, Carlos Beltran and Bobby Abreu.
May 24, 2009
Mike Cameron's homer in the fourth inning of Sunday's game put him in an elite club. He became the 20th player in Major League history to join the 250 homer/250 stolen base club.
Our View:
This is an impressive feat and a very nice moment for Cameron in his career. Unfortunately it came in a 6-3 loss that saw the Brewers get swept by the Twins. Cameron was 1-for-4 on the day and now has nine homers this season.
April 30, 2009
Mike Cameron went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Diamondbacks.
Our View:
Cameron looks like a new hitter at the plate this season. He has drawn 13 walks to go with his 14 strikeouts, and the result is a batting line of .333/.430/.667. He has never been much of a source for batting average or on-base percentage, but he is off to a good start through 20 games. However, we have our doubts that he'll be able to keep up this sort of production going forward, so temper your expectations.
April 29, 2009
Outfielder Mike Cameron will have the day off on Wednesday. Chris Duffy will take his place against Ian Snell and the Pirates.
Our View:
Cameron is having an excellent April, but we suppose it's best to rest the 36-year-old when possible. He is not injured.
April 26, 2009
Mike Cameron was 2-for-3 with two doubles and an RBI in the Brewers' 3-2 loss to the Astros.
Our View:
Cameron is showing some nice pop in the early goings this season. He now has seven doubles and four homers and is hitting .328. More than half his hits on the season have gone for extra bases.
April 16, 2009
Mike Cameron had a perfect day at the plate on Wednesday, going3-for-3 with two home runs, three runs and three RBI in the Brewers' 9-3 win over the Reds.
Our View:
Cameron still has some pop in his bat and can help fantasy owners in the speed and power categories. His legs aren't rusty yet as he's already swiped two bags this season.
April 9, 2009
Mike Cameron was 1-for-3 on Wednesday, but his one hit was a solo home run that helped sink the Giants as the Brew Crew won 4-2.
Our View:
Cameron can still run and he still has some pop in his bat. He's not the player he once was, but he can still help your fantasy team. A 20-20 season is not out of reach.
April 7, 2009
Mike Cameron had a nice day at the plate on Tuesday in Milwaukee's 10-6 road loss at San Francisco. He was 1-for-1 with four walks and a pair of runs scored.
Our View:
Cameron was a terror on the basepaths, as his four walks led to two stolen bases. Now he needs just 16 more to surpass his total from a season ago.
March 26, 2009
Mike Cameron was 1-for-4 on Thursday. His only hit of the contest was a solo home run. His third of the spring.
Our View:
Cameron is a decent power-speed option in deeper leagues and NL-only leagues, but that .243 average he put up last year can hurt in rotisserie leagues.
March 19, 2009
ESPN.com reports that the Yankees have once again looked into the availability of center fielder Mike Cameron. The team nearly acquired him back in December, but elected to pass.
Our View:
At this point, it looks as if Brett Gardner will be the opening day center fielder with Melky Cabrera backing him up. The Yankees have some major issues on defense, and while Cameron is a good fielder, he's not much better than Gardner. The team would be better off trying to upgrade the defense at positions manned by some bigger stars.
March 12, 2009
MLB.com reports that Mike Cameron tweaked a muscle in his rib cage Wednesday during relay drills. The team is not sure of the extent of his injury, but he has been restricted from doing anything baseball related for the time being.
Our View:
Hopefully this isn't too serious for Cameron, as he is a nice source of power and speed for your lineup. However, that average can get you into trouble.
January 11, 2009
In an ongoing, yet slow moving, story, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that the Yankees still have interest in Mike Cameron. However, Brewers GM Doug Melvin is not motivated to move him.
Our View:
Other reports have indicated the Yankees are no longer interested in him, as they suddenly have a surplus of outfielders. The Yankees don't have a reliable option in center, and it's not unfathomable that they attain opt for an overpaid player like Cameron.
January 9, 2009
The Yankees are believed to be losing interest in Brewers' outfielder Mike Cameron, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.
Our View:
Melky Cabrera has fared very well in winterball, and the club also seems content with Brett Gardner competing with him in center field.
