The Brewers paid Cameron USD10 million this past season, but with the market the way it is and factoring in Cameron’s age, Tim Lincecum could get a two-year deal averaging around USD8 million.
Cameron is annually a dependable run producer; the past three seasons he’s also hit 21 or more home runs while averaging a mediocre,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], albeit acceptable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], .330 OBP.
Some people complain about his lower batting average and higher strikeout totals, but they is rendered almost meaningless if he’s getting on base acceptably and hitting with his normal power.
Lincecum was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 48 round of the 2003 MLB Draft; however he did not sign up for the team. He decided to attend college instead and was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 42 round on entering the draft in 2005, but once again failed to sign. In 2004,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he was drafted tenth overall by the San Francisco Giants becoming the first player from the University of Washington to be taken in the first round. He signed for a 2.025 million dollars signing award on June 30, which at the time was the highest amount the organization had ever paid to any amateur player until they gave 2.1 million dollars to Angel Villalona a little over a month later. Christian Petersen His repertoire includes a two seam fastball that he throws at 93 mph, a changeup he grips like a splitter, a curveball notable for its sharp breaking action, a slider and a four seam fastball that reaches speeds in the mid nineties.
The latest news on the Chicago Cubs search for a center fielder is revolving around signing Mike Cameron in the near future.
Cameron likely won’t be signed until Milton Bradley is moved in an eventual trade. With Bradley heading out, it allows Fukudome to return to right field, the position where Tim Lincecum was an elite defender on the North Side in 2010. Having Cameron and Fukudome manning two-thirds of the outfield would be a top-notch defensive situation.
When recently asked about Mike Cameron,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Lou Piniella answered simply that Tim Lincecum loved the guy.
Cameron, who will be 37 years old at the start of the 2010 season, remains an elite defender in the outfield. Offensively,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Tim Lincecum really is a hallmark of consistency.
If Cameron brings his top-of-the-line defense,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], consistent offensive production, and quality character to Chicago,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I’m sure the organization would be very happy with his signing. He earned his first major league victory in his next start on the road against the Colorado Rockies. Lincecum who is often compared to Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt faced him in each of his next two starts, Oswalt with the Astros at the time. After the first agree up,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Astros third baseman Mike Lamb said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], The stuff he was throwing out there tonight was everything he is hyped up to be. He was 97 mph with movement. You just don't see that every day. He pitched very much like the pitcher he is compared to and out dueled him throughout the night. The pair dueled to a no decision the first time, and Lincecum pitched eight innings and got the win the second time. The Giants asked Lincecum not to throw the bullpen sessions typical of other pitchers during the off season. Manager Bruce Bochy told the San Francisco Chronicle that they were being careful with Lincecum because there have been studies that show that pitchers who throw 200 innings early in their career were more susceptible to injuries.
Curtis Granderon is still on the minds of the Cubs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it seems that no team will make a move for him until the Tigers drop their high trade demands. Rumors have also linked the Cubs to free agent center fielders Marlon Byrd and Rick Ankiel.
