Somebody has to pick him up,right? Cincy boy can fly, but didn't show much else.

His first MLB hit occurred in GABP, which iirc was an RBI single. Very humble guy whom I've had the chance to hang out with. I hope for him the best and a bright career.
Campana can play a very passable CF plus the OF corners.
He might be worth it as a late-inning PR/ defensive sub in September.
Stash him in AAA until then?
Campana still has two options left, which could come in hady. I'd love to have him, but who do you take off the roster to make it happen?
I wish there was a spot for him. Unless he's willing to accept a minor league deal...
No. Absolutely not. No more "hustlers", that play the game "like Pete Rose used to". I don't care that he is a local kid, I don't care that he went to UC. NO NO NO!!!!
That wooden stick that he carries to the plate is made of termite infested balsa. The guy doesn't hit. He is the worst kind of guy to have on the team. The kind the unwashed masses love to see. The little guy, who gets his uniform dirty. Bad teams have lots of them.
one trick pony, who has too much trouble finding 1st base.
Huh?
.262 career batting average in 184 games is bad? I'll agree he has no slugging ability, but the dude stole 54 bases in 59 attempts in his career. Yes, his OBP is only slightly better than Stubbs as he rarely takes a walk...........but.......
He's only 26 years old. Change of scenery might do him some good.
I'd take a minor league flyer on him.

I always liked his speed and wonder if the Reds should take a look at a minor league deal for him and see what happens??
The magical pull of the local player, many a symphony in Reds baseball history is focused on that one note.
Would you Dfa Xavier Paul to make room for him?
Paul is a much better player, IMOQuote:
