After a long career playing with a variety of different teams, and agreeing to a minor league contract with the Washington Nationals, Mike Cameron decided to call it quits. Cameron was a great acquisition anywhere he went. And the Nationals tried their hardest to talk him out of it, but he just wasn't going to change his mind.
Cameron was quoted as saying " I want to spend more time with my family, and i don't think i have the drive left to get into baseball shape"
If that is is attitude than he certainly did the right thing. Besides it is another spot for a younger player who is probably in shape already. So kudos to you Mike.

As Milwaukee Brewer players and fans inch closer to the start of spring training and await the fate of star left fielder Ryan Braun's arbitration hearing lets visit a couple administrative announcements made recently by the Milwaukee Brewers. The Milwaukee Brewers recently announced they will continue to provide demand based pricing for nine home games during the 2012 season. These tickets for the nine select games will only involve seats in the Loge Outfield and Loge Bleacher seating areas.
Demand based pricing is essentially where teams are able to price tickets for individual games on a real time basis. The Milwaukee Brewers using software adjust the prices of tickets based on demand and changing factors such as team performance, pitching matchups and even the weather. The team used this approach for three games during the 2011 season and received positive feedback from the fans. The goal of the program is to reward the fans with the best deals if they purchase their plans in advance and give fans more attractive pricing options for many seats that may go unsold.
