Mike Cameron will miss the first 25 games of the season because of a stimulant drug suspension. Of course now this will affect his contract because he also filed for free agency. I’ve always been a big fan of Cameron’s and thought he was a nice guy to have roaming Petco’s centerfield but he’s now one more test away from a half year suspension, which would really hurt.
The Padres seem confident of locking up Greg Maddux for another year. It sure would be nice having his veteran prescence in the rotation for another season.
