Reds in on Cameron?

This from mlbtraderumors . . .

Reds In On Cameron?
According to Tom Krasovic of the San Diego Union-Tribune, Mike Cameron's agent tonight said he has a new suitor.  Krasovic makes an educated guess that the Reds are that team.  He cites Cameron's desire to play for Dusty Baker, the possible defensive improvement, and the availability of Josh Hamilton as factors.  It would be odd for the Reds to spend their remaining money on a position player though.

Cameron enjoyed his time in Cincinnati in 1999, hitting .256/.357/.469 as a 26 year-old before being included in the Griffey trade.  Wouldn't it be interesting if the Reds brought back Cameron and Brett Tomko?  And Antonio Perez is probably kicking around somewhere too.

This is pretty much garbage.  How can this guess be educated?  I like Mike Cameron and all, but seriously.  Still, I thought it was worth a post so we can laugh it off before it actually happens.  This would be just the thing that could start another classic Wayne Krivsky bender . . . with Castro getting an extension through 2012.  

My "educated" guess is the mystery team is Washington, because . . . well, you know why.

Cameron's desire to play for Dusty Baker
Well, Dusty will definitely start him from June - August.

Doesn't seem to make any sense
Even if the Reds trade Hamilton, they have Jay Bruce, who is expected to be joining the big club by June, if not sooner.  

If this does happen, I would bet it's Baker who's behind it, more than Krivsky.

I'd rather have
Cameroon, which would go with Venezuela.
At least it wasn't Grady Little.

I wonder...
if Cameron's recent troubles with PEDs lurks behind his sudden desire to play for one Dusty Baker, He Who Provides Cover for His Players.

Did this get mentioned?
I might have missed it, in which case apologies.  But the Reddening of Washington continues with the signing of Aaron Boone.  Way to give forward-thinking Manny Acta the tools to work with, Jimbo.

It's a good time...
...to be a relief pitcher.  They aren't going cheap this year.

Luis Vizcaino, to the surprise of many, chose free agency.  The Yankees wouldn't give him a long-term contract, so he declined arbitration.  

He's right-handed, but has a reputation for being tough on lefties.

It's good to be the king.
And if you can't be the king, you could live a very nice life as Luis Vizcaino or Salomon Torres.

Everyone answers, and Todd coffey says, "Baseball".

Hmmm
So Todd did play baseball back in the day. Glad it didn't interfere with his career in Home Run Derby.
