Campana has 10 AB's in the majors this year. Hasn't been hurt either with 100 games played in AAA. KT has admitted he's not exactly comfortable dealing with Theo and his large brain, this ain't gonna help KT's confidence.

Jesus Castillo hasn't done so bad either for a 17 year old in the VSL.

 

well, he pitched regularly from may 17 to early june, then didn't pitch again for 3 weeks, pitched 1.1 innings, and hasn't appeared for over a month and a half. so he might be hurt.

Vitters HR

What position is he playing?

 

 

3b. Olt is DHing.

I still like Vitters more as a prospect than Olt

As an offensive prospect right now? Yes. As an overall prospect as a 3B? No.

 

There's reason to believe Vitters can hit at the major league level. I'm just not sure where he can play without hurting a team's defense. I've never seen his inability to play 3B first hand, but the reports on his defense are seemingly universal that he is below average. I want to believe that he can gradually make himself average over the next couple years, but I have no evidence to suggest that he will.

I see Vitters as being a Dave Magadan type: corner man that can back up 4 positions but not play any of them well enough to start on a good team. Vitters will be a useful player for someone. I'm not convinced Olt-for-4 hasn't already flamed out. He's looking a lot like Brett Jackson these days.
