Position Smosition?

So your Milwaukee Brewers are in a run off with the Yanks to acquire Mike Cameron...I cant really say much more about Cameron that this guy has said. The fact is, egos get in the way. Cameron will only play CF, and Billy does not want to move back to the infield. Rightly so. If playing a certain position reduces your hitting prowess that much, than I wouldnt want to move either. According to Melvin and Nasty Nederino, Billy was the CF of the future for the home team. Moving him there cut his HR total by a lot. I am not good at the maths so you do it. I blame Cameron. A strikeout prone "free-swinger" who would give the crew what...20 more home runs? But the whiny ass wont change positions. Dude, you are getting older, at least not any younger, and you dont want to end up like Derron Erstad. Playing out your career based on grit. Move to left, let Billy play center, and keep the Hebrew Hammer at third. He is going to get better. In 2 years, you can move on and shame the game of baseball by playing shoddy defense and not making contact.
Look, Bill Hall was the first good minor league player that we saw out of the crop, and no one ever mentioned his name before his rookie season. He has played for Milwaukee for what now, 6 years, and 4 of which were full time. If he plays for the Brewers next season, and has a year that is the same or worse than last year, I will give each of you loyal readers one American dollar. Good wherever goods and services are sold. He changed positions, only to see his numbers seriously drop off. He was not mentioned as a user. Let him get comfortable, and maybe he hits the 20 HRs that Cameron would hit, and we will not all shudder when he goes back on the fly balls. Suck it up Mikey, play the left field, and go to the playoffs for 2 years.
