First off, Cameron is complete trash, period. The only thing he can do is play a little D. Also, he is old now, so his D is not going to be anything like it was. Second, I would take Ellsbury in CF over Cameron any day of the week as would every other team in the Bigs other than Boston. Third, the Sox could have saved money because Herminda pretty much has the same s***** numbers as Cameron. Fourth, I would rather have one of the young guys come up and learn what the BIGs are all about so they could use them in the long run. Finally, with all this said, I do not have a lot of time to sit on the computer and look at stats and FA’s all day, but I would bet there was some FA’s out there that were better than Cameron.
Also, see that you see most of my post; you should know I have disliked everything that Theo has done this year.
• Hall – overpaid by 5 million.
• Lowell – need to be traded and any cost. The Sox are sitting on 12.5 million for someone on the bench.
• Cameron – was a wasted pick up.
• Scutaro – is impressing me more and more, but with that said, there were other FA’s out there that were younger and a better long term option.
• Beckett – no reason to sign him till the year was almost over. Beckett from the playoffs last year till now has been crap. He could very well be done, but yet again, Theo throwing money around that once again, might bit him in the ass.
• Bullpen – he did not do anything really to improve it at all.
