Brewers showing interest in Mike Cameron?

I wasn't sure I should post on this rumor, but Tom Haudricourt says its from a very trusted source (that he would not name, by the way). Apparently, the Brewers are showing a very high interest in signing free agent Mike Cameron.

This makes absolutely no sense to me. First of all, the guy will be suspended for the first 25 games of the season. Why would we give a one-year deal to someone who will not play for the first month? Secondly, Cameron cannot make contact to save his life. He hit .245 last year...yes, .245. Sure, he has a lot of power (21 HR and 78 RBI last season), but he also struck out 160 times. That's awful. The Brewers are looking for a left-handed hitting left-fielder who has a high OBP, not a right-handed center-fielder who has a super low OBP (.328). This would also mean that Bill Hall could be moved to 3B and Braun to LF.

This rumor just doesn't make sense on so many levels...yet as I've said before, Tom Haudricourt is the most trusted source on the Milwaukee Brewers that any fan has. It has to have some truth to it. One thing that does add to its chances of validity is that Doug Melvin is not returning Haudricourt's phone calls. Melvin usually makes his move without much notice. I don't think this would be the wisest move for Milwaukee to say the least. I trust Doug Melvin though, so he must know something if this rumor is true.
