One of the Jays who was offered arbitration over the weekend is the focus of today's December Double POTD Plus One!

Shawn Camp gets set to deliver a pitch against the Twins Brian Buscher in the eighth inning at Rogers Centre September 7th.  Lyle Overbay holds pinch-runner Carlos Gomez (not pictured here) running for Delmon Young after a leadoff single at first base.  Twins first base coach Jerry White, the former Expo, is in the background.

Camp goes to the changeup grip as he tries to douse the fiery bat of Buscher.

Camp follows through on the 84 MPH pitch which produces a foul ball.  Camp would later strike out Buscher and batterymate Rod Barajas would throw out Gomez trying to steal.  He would then retire Alexei Casilla on a grounder to first to face the minimum three batters in a shutout inning. 

The 34 year-old reliever from Fairfax, Virginia completed his second season with the Jays in which he compiled a 2-6 record with an ERA of 3.50 and picked up six holds.  Camp allowed 73 hits in 79 1/3 innings and his K/BB ratio was exactly 2:1 with a 58-29 total.  The 6-1, 200 pound hurler held righties to a .230 batting average while lefties hit him exactly 30 points better. 

Camp began the season with eight straight scoreless appearances but had a rough month of May by suffering two losses with an ERA of 9.00.  He would suffer three more losses during the next two months but his ERA was 3.00 in June and 1.08 in July.  However, Camp struggled again in August with a 5.68 ERA in which he split a pair of decisions against the Yankees in the Bronx.  He finished up strong by allowing runs in only two of his last 14 appearances.  He earned a win at home against Baltimore September 22nd and picked up a save in the 5-4 home finale victory against Seattle September 27th.

The former Royal and Ray is hoping to return to the Toronto bullpen in 2010.   Camp signed a one year deal worth $750,000 to stay with the Jays in '09.
