Cameron‘s raw numbers won’t fly off the charts for most people. His .249/.338/.444 slash and 107 wRC+ are solid, but by no means elite. His real offensive value came from his rare power/speed combo.
Cameron was one of only 46 players with 200 career home runs and 200 career stolen bases by the time he retired in 2011. He fell just one healthy season shy of joining the even more exclusive 300/300 club (278 HR, 297 SB’s), of which there are only 8 members.
