Anyone who hoped to have Mike Cameron in camp as an insurance policy can finally give up the ghost. Gardner and Cabrera fans rejoice.
“Our center fielder is here in camp,” Cashman said when asked if he had anything going for the Brewers’ $10 million center fielder, who was close to being a Yankee last December.
This according to the NY Post. The news is hardly a big surprise to anyone, but there have been recent rumblings of a resurrection of the deal. The fact that Melky and Brett have been two of the best Yankees in camp makes Cash’s decision to nix the original deal look pretty good so far, but it’s very early yet. I’d guess that those two will get every chance possible to prove they can hold down the job before Cashman looks at that deal again. Does this make you guys happy, or do you think we need a proven guy in that spot?
I think Gardner should win the job. The guy has won the competition what more can he do? he looks like a legit player to me. What is the problem with letting Gardner have a shot mryankee(Quote)

After seeing Jackson’s approach at the plate, I am convinced that we have our CF of the future right there, should Gardner falter. What’s the harm in letting Brett give it a shot for a while. Moshe Mandel(Quote)

Sounds a lot like “Bubba Crosby is our center fielder”.
I’m not saying that he will, or should, go get another center fielder. But once again, Cashman is the master of non-communication. swo(Quote)

That is true. Watch him swing a huge trade at midseason for a CF. Moshe Mandel(Quote)
