Buzz: The Mets like Mike Cameron
According to Marty Noble, in a mailbag Q&A for MLB.com, the Mets ‘like the idea of Mike Cameron,’ since, “He would provide reliable 
and comprehensive defense in left field and might hit 15-20 home runs at Citi Field if he played 120 games.”
…noble doesn’t say if the Mets like the idea of cameron in Citi Field next season, or if they like the idea of acquiring him… he only says they like the idea… so, i am not totally sure what that is supposed to mean…
Cameron, who will be a free agent this off season, hit just .250 in 149 games for the Brewers this season, but with a .342 OBP, 24 HR, 32 doubles and 70 RBI.
…cameron was very popular with fans, as well as in the team’s clubhouse, from what i have been told… at 36 years old, he is still one of the best defensive outfielders in the game, he is still pretty quick on the base paths, and he still has some pop in his bat…
…the thing is, he also still struggles against right-handed pitching, especially power pitchers, and he is still an aggressive, free swinger, though he is walking more of late… basically, if he falls behind in the count he is toast…
…i would like to think the Mets will look to someone a bit younger and with more power to play left field… but, cameron is a decent back-up plan, especially from a pitcher’s perspective…
In 11 at bats this season in Citi Field, during a three-game series in April, against mostly Nelson Figueroa, Johan Santana and Livan Hernandez, Cameron had two hits and struck out three times.
