I just read an post at Al's Ramblings with a link, presumably of an article to be run in the Urinal-Sentinel soon, about a serious interest in Mike Cameron. As Haudricourt points out, though, Cameron is the opposite of what Melvin said he's looking for. The Brewer's have been seeking a LH bat with a high(er) OBP for left or third. Cameron is RH, and his OBP isn't real good. When I saw the paragraph about his penchant for striking out(160 times in 07), my first response was, "that's the last guy we need." Thoughts?

I've seen Braun referred to here and in the Journal/Sentinel that Braun is Jewish. However, that isn't entirely true. It said in the JS today that his father is Jewish and his mother is Catholic. Therefore, to Jews, he's not Jewish. According to Judaism, that's passed down through the mother. For example, I myself have Jewish "blood" in me, but I wouldn't be considered a Jew, but my dad would, as his mother's mother was Jewish. Just wanted to point that out to those of you who didn't know...
