“He can eat it,” Carlos Camacho said when he was told of YS9 General Manager Ron Collins’s publicly made assessment of him. “The question he and a few others bring up is how much the personality ratings affect performance,” Collins said while discussing Camacho. “I've generally discounted them...but they may be bigger than I give them credit for.” Collins later added that his read on Camacho was as a 1-2 WAR player, not really capable of All-Star level play.”
“I’m a starter,” Camacho said. “Here I am, busting my ass to fill holes wherever they want me to, and I can’t get into a rhythm anywhere, and he’s saying that kind of thing? Now you know why I’m not playing here next year.”
Of course, some would ask Camacho to reassess whether he’s playing “here” this year. This is Camacho’s second season with the team, neither of which has resulted in numbers that most would consider attractive. He’s currently hitting .211/.296/.394 with 8 homers in 281 Plate Appearances, and has been used to some effect all around the field. He’s currently sitting at .2 WAR.
The outburst is just the latest in a string of issues from Camacho, and with young Anibal Moran’s call-up and the Nine fading from serious contention some are wondering if Camacho’s time with the team is going to be shorter than the end of the year. Pat Allen’s foot is essentially healed, and insiders are telling Nine-News that the club’s front office is viewing Camacho’s latest outburst as a call for help—and a call they may be willing to answer.

The attitude is a concern, but my clubhouse seems pretty strong. Hopefully getting him as far away from the OF as possible will help bring out that mythical '1-2 WAR player' Ron sees. (side note: a .679 career OPS with above average to good 2B defense probably is a 1-2 WAR player)
