Arbitration for Cameron and Barrett?

FoxSports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Friar front office is "strongly considering" arbitration offers for center fielder Mike Cameron and cather Micheal Barrett. While the offer is probably tempting for Cameron in light of his 25 game suspension for failing a second drug test, the Barrett offer is a bit troubling. Cameron would be of use to the Pads based on his fielding prowess alone. Coming off a weak season (particularly while playing for the Padres), Barrett may find it difficult to get a better offer. FF is deeply disturbed of the thought of another season where the basepaths turn into the Del Mar track. Kevin Towers may get a draft picks out of the offer, but both players seem likely to have their value maximized by accepting arbitration...
