Two months after agreeing to terms on a Minor League deal with
the Nationals, outfielder Mike Cameron
announced his retirement Sunday. Cameron, 39, indicated to MLB.com in December
that 2012 most likely would be his last season, and he wanted a chance to
mentor a player like the Nats' Roger Bernadina. If Cameron had played this
season, he could have been in a platoon situation with Rick Ankiel in center
field. With Cameron out of the picture, the Nationals could have Jason Michaels
replace Cameron http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120219&content_id=26754352&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb&partnerId=aw-7670951052344218254-996
One of the mysteries for the Mets going into Spring is what
are they going to get out of Andres
Torres. Torres is looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2011 campaign
after a great 2010 season. As of right now, he is the current starter in center
for the Mets and is projecting to be the current lead off hitter. However with
a few OF coming up through the minors (hello Captain Kirk), there will be
pressure on Torres throughout the season to produce. Here are is 2011 numbers,

Johan
Santana (NYM – P) – The 32-year-old threw off a mound for the first
time since the end of the 2010 season on Sunday. He is slowly making his way
back from surgery to repair a tear in his left shoulder. Even with the
progress, I would stay as far away from the 32-year-old as possible. The main
reason to stay away is the operation he had to repair his shoulder has a
horrible success rate. Kelvim Escobar had the surgery in May 2010 and hasn’t
been back to the majors. Chien-Ming Wang was finally able to make it back to
the majors in 2011 after his surgery in July 2009. Mark Prior also had the
operation and his struggles to return to the majors is well documented. http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/britton-santana-hudson-napoli-dl-on-the-dl/
