I would think Cameron ends up with about 6M for 2008 when the suspension is taken into account. To be honest, I think the deal with the Pirates is more likely then Cameron coming back, especially considering the icy reception last night.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-126865">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> re 64: Chunk?

It looks like Fukudome signed for $12 million per year, and Bradley signed for $5 million plus incentives. Neither guy is a true centerfielder. Wouldn't Andruw Jones at 2/$36M been a better fit for the Padres?<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-126851">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> 60: Aki blew out his elbow last year and, according to Rotoworld, is “a candidate for Tommy John surgery”.
