Mike Cameron told the Boston media Wednesday that he can steal 20-plus bases in 2010 if given the green light.
Cameron, 36, said he was held back on the base paths in Milwaukee. He hasn't swiped more than 20 bags since his days in San Diego, but he still shows great speed in the outfield and seems plenty capable of the feat. Cameron should be inching up on fantasy draft boards.

Red Sox signed OF Mike Cameron to a two-year, $15.5 million contract.
The deal also carries a limited no-trade clause. Cameron, 36, hit .250/.342/.452 with 24 home runs and 32 doubles in 628 plate appearances this past season for the Brewers. The Red Sox haven't decided whether to place him in left field or allow him to take over in center for Jacoby Ellsbury. He's a solid defender and should do well no matter where he's positioned.

The Cubs are targeting Mike Cameron to play center field for them in 2010, reports Gordon Wittenmeyer of the Chicago Sun-Times.
The only thing standing between the Cubs and Cameron is Milton Bradley. If and when the disgruntled outfielder is moved, it sounds as if Cameron will immediately be inked, a move that already has manager Lou Piniella's approval. Cameron remains an excellent fielder and is also remarkably consistent with the bat, having averaged 22 home runs and 75 RBI over the past 11 seasons with little fluctuation. The right-hander would be a great complementary player and would come without a long-term contract attached. Marlon Byrd was also mentioned as a person of interest to the club.

Free agent outfielder Mike Cameron told ESPN.com's Buster Olney this week that he wants to play for a contender in 2010.
Cameron hit .250 with 24 home runs, 32 doubles and a .795 OPS in 544 at-bats this season for the Brewers. "I feel like I can still play one of the better center fields in the game," he said. "I feel like I can play with the best of them. ... I'm just trying to get in the right spot to get in the playoffs." Olney suggests the Braves, Yankees, Mets or Rangers might be a good fit.

Mike Cameron suffered a mild concussion on Sunday afternoon after making a diving catch in the outfield.
"I think I hit my head when I slammed into the ground," Cameron said. "It's just weird, a weird feeling. I caught the ball, though. I've done it a few times." The 36-year-old free agent has suffered several concussions throughout his career. That's something potential suitors will want to make note of. He finished the year with a .250 batting average, 24 homers and 70 RBI.

According to Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune, Mike Cameron is expected to be on the Cubs' radar during the offseason.
The Cubs would like to move Kosuke Fukudome back to right field, and since 2006 first-round pick Tyler Colvin probably won't be ready to be a full-time player in 2010, Cameron would be a pretty good fit. Even better, the Cubs won't have to worry about any distractions, as Cameron has one of the best reputations in the game. The 36-year-old veteran is batting .255/.348/.453 with 21 homers and 64 RBI this season. He slugged two home runs against the Cubs on Monday night.

"If I'm out, you know it's bad," Cameron said. "It's not good. It's spasming right now." Cameron was hurt on Saturday and has not played since.
