Cameron Trade

I think I may be in the minority here, but I like the Mets' side of the deal in the Cameron-Nady trade. The Mets have always had a problem taking on bad contracts for mediocre players, and it gluts the roster with effectively dead money (this is a NY thing in general- think Rangers; Knicks). So when they can get rid of one of those players, it's always a positive. There seemed to be a lot of interest in Cameron, but all the deals I heard proposed were those salary dump deals where you have to take on a bad contract. The Padres apparently are going to pay the rest of Cameron's awful salary, and the Mets get a decent prospect in Nady. I think that's a winner for Minaya.
