Kei Igawa will give them some International Coverage on TV.....Worth more Mike Cameron laughable contract of 10 million.

The people need to be able to actually SEE him pitch for it to be worth it. Otherwise they just float around like the esteemed governor of NY, David Patterson

Igawa may pitch a little better in the NL but not enough to get in the front of a rotation. Maybe out of the bull pen if he could even make the team. Or any team for that matter

If they can get rid of Igawa that makes the deal alot better for the Yankees.

Seriously, if Mike Cameron is a Brewer this season, every time he is up to bat, I'm going for a beer run. My blood pressure can't take watching him watch pitches for a caught looking strikeout.

The sad thing is Brewer "fans" defend him for his slugging percentage. Nothing like defending a guy with 142 strikeouts while missing a month of action.

Any deal that gets rid of Igawa is a great deal for the Yankees. They could trade A-Rod for Cameron, but if you throw Igawa in, it's a great deal for the Yankees.

In the NL West Igawa may be able to lower his era to about 4.7. He's awful. How anyone thought this guy was gonna be good is beyond me. But, the Sox got a Jap pitcher so Cashman just had to have one.

The Savory Dogs of the Korean league wouldn't start this guy. He should be delivery greasy food via an old rusting bicycle with a metal basket on Queens Blvd.

Laughs well he is a pitcher but how he pitches is a different story :P

I meant open their eyes enough.

Why do the yankess want another player on the downside of his career.

i say wait it out and look for someone else, cameron k's too much, and from what i have heard, so does swisher!! we need a base hit machine

It's a one year rental. He isn't great (or very good for that matter) but he is a defensive upgrade over what they have and is gone at the end of the year. Then either Austin Jackson is ready or someone better is available.

I think they want a stopgap for their CF prospect.

agreed. The yanks were supopsed to get YOUNGER in the field- not older. The guy even if he has a career year is a strikeout MACHINE- we DON'T need him. At this point he WAS a good defender- now he's simply average- no better than melky or gardner

If I'm the Yanks I'd pay all of Cameron's deal if it meant getting rid of Igawa.

Cameron is only being used now in the hopes that Gardner or even Austin Jackson are ready for 2010.

AJAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree. That he is. A bad deal made here by the yankees. He's lefty and may be OK out of the pen but just to get rid of the salary would certainly be better for the yanks.

Let the Brewers eat some money...they won't? No deal.
