Having looked at Campos this last week, I'd really like to know how a low-A pitcher could show more than he has shown - sabermetrically, on the radar gun, etc. If Campos isn't in the top 100, no low minors player should be, perhaps ever.
He's a Pineda-template pitcher who, as you point out, is probably a tick *ahead* of where Pineda was as a teenager.
Campos retired the first 19 batters he faced last night, taking a no hitter into the 7th. His final line: 8 IP, 2 hits, 2 ER (zero earned), 7K/0BB.
He has Pineda's early command with more heat on the FB than Pineda had at the time. I agree, if Campos - with his great control AND terrific stuff - isn't a top 100 arm then no low-minors pitcher is.
But he will be. :) As will Walker. Here's hoping for their continued health and success - or for them to bring us the perfect trade return, I guess.
