Since it's you, Doc:
Conversation with a friend:
Her: "You liked that Jorge Campillo guy's potential right?"
Me: "Yeah, before his arm got too damaged, I thought he was doing a fine job of proving a RH control freak with a ridiculously deceptive off-speed attack can still be a good ML pitcher even if he has a junk fastball."
Her: "Congrats, you just got him back as a bullpen arm. Hello, Robert Manuel."
Getting the AA reliever of the year doesn't mean a whole lot in the scheme of things, but his last 2 seasons (2.5 if you take out a horrific start to 07 IIRC) are high quality stuff. He didn't blink at AA or AAA, just kept killing em...in long relief.
I think Wlad's gonna be a decent-to-good player on the cheap, but he wasn't gonna be ours. We don't like him. So getting a piece we will use - a guy who can come in after Bedard and get some quick 1-2-3 innings will be a good thing.
I hope. ;)
