Colvin demoted to Iowa, Tony Campana up

[Northside Blues]

I don't necessarily disagree, but he probably would have been alright had he been given the opportunity to work out of his slump. Of course by "alright" I mean fairly average, if that.

 

How would he have gottent the oportunity? Byrd and Fukudome have been doing well in CF and RF, and Johnson has been very good as the 5th outfielder. Colvin was buried at the end of the bench, and hes far better off playing everyday in Iowa.

 

I didn't say it was possible or should have been done.

[Little Slide Rooter]

For those who know, what kind of ceiling does Campana have? Is he a 4th or 5th OF only in the future or is there a possibility he could be more (maybe a marginal CF starter as long as he's cheap)?

 

Think of him as Augie Ojeda with more walks and outfield experience and without the ability to play SS.

Wouldn't it be easier to just say Sam Fuld?

Campana is a poor man's Sam Fuld.

I wonder why they didn't just call up one of the sluggers then. If they wanted a defensive guy who can't hit they had Fernando Perez already on the 40 man.

Reward to a guy who has worked his tail off in the system for a long time. If they're going to call up one of two similar players, why not reward the guy who has been here longer? There's room on the 40 man anyway.

 

Plus Campana is hitting .342 and Perez is hitting .202.

I just wish I knew what to make of the guy. Hes only 25(almost), and hits for OK average, but 0 power. Its not like hes been in the system forever, he was drafted in '08, and considering all we really need is a bench bat, I think that one of the sluggers would have been a better choice.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Haven't you posted that same statement about 12 different times now?

[Post Count Padder]

Didn't we get Campana in a trade? Or am I totally wrong?

He was drafted by the Cubs. Also, he is not a slugger.

Nah, I know we drafted him. Can't remember for sure, but I think he was like a middle half of the top 10 round pick.

Haha, nice. Okay enough bench bat I guess, as long as he's cheap and a short term filler.

13th round in 2008.

At the same time, Marcos Mateo to Iowa, Scott Maine up.

[Northside Blues]

Wow, Campana has never homered in a professional baseball game.

 

He did have three home runs in four years in college though. The guys has had three HR since high school. That's Joey Gathright level right there. Gathright has five homers since high school, though.

[BCVM22]

Campana to wear no. 41 and will be available tonight (if they play).

That's a lot of lefties in the pen.
