Cameron for Sheffield?
I've been hearing rumors about this all day. One of my commentors reports that this was Omar making the noise and Cashman said no. If the Yankees are going to trade Sheffied for a center fielder, they should get a very young, very good one, not Mike Cameron who they'll have to replace in a couple of years.

This sounds like the dumbest move in the history of moves. Sheff is a better player than Cameron. What they lose in terms of OF defense w. Shef they make up in offense. They should put Matsui back in the OF and trade Womack plus ANY prospects they have for a decent OF. Or call up a kid who can play D and can't hit. Womack hasn't been hitting or anything.
Well, to be fair, it's not a good move for either team. Why would it be good for the Mets to get older and worse defensively, take on more salary, and fill a position for which they've got young replacements almost ready to go (Milledge, Diaz)? All to get a little more offense?
It's an exceptionally hare-brained move, IMO. But this is the same Yankee brass that thought signing Tony Womack and Jaret Wright was a good idea. I don't think even the Yankees, with all their talent and resources, can withstand such lunacy at the top.
