Former Mets teammate Cameron says Reyes would be good fit with Red Sox

Though Jose Reyes has played his entire career in New York and has been in the spotlight for years with the Mets, Red Sox outfielder Mike Cameron said it would still be different if the star shortstop were dealt to Boston.

“It’s a different animal here [with the Red Sox],” Cameron said before the Red Sox’s 6-4 victory over the Yankees last night at the Stadium. “In Boston, there’s one team there and the primary focus is nothing else but [a freaking] title. [But] I think they would love him because of the way he plays. Just the energy, man.”

Cameron, who did not play last night, spoke to The Post about the possibility of Boston trading for Reyes, his former Mets teammate. Cameron played with Reyes in 2004-05 and still exchanges text messages with him.

The Red Sox can never be counted out of any sweepstakes involving a major player, and as lethal as their team is, they have a weakness at shortstop, where they’re using Jed Lowrie and Marco Scutaro.

In his last 37 games, Lowrie, who did not play last night, is hitting just .245 (34-for-139) with a .301 on-base percentage, no homers and no stolen bases. Reyes, has 19 stolen bases.

Making things worse for the Red Sox, Lowrie has an ailing left shoulder. Boston manager Terry Francona said it was sore, and Lowrie called it “like a dull ache.”

Lowrie said him might have an MRI exam.

Boston did activate Marco Scutaro from the disabled list last night and he hit ninth. But Scutaro, who went 1-for-4 last night, is batting just .236.

Imagine if for half a year, the Red Sox added Reyes to a lineup that includes Adrian Gonzalez, Kevin Youkilis, Dustin Pedroia, Carl Crawford, David Ortiz and Jacoby Ellsbury?

“Take nothing away from the guys we got here, Lowrie’s pretty solid, Scutaro’s real good,” Cameron said. “But the talent [Reyes] possesses is very intriguing.”
