March 12, 200422 yr From ESPN.com: Francisco Campos, a Rule 5 draft pickup from Mexico, had seven strikeouts in three innings against a team of D-Backs minor leaguers on March 8, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. "He knows what he's doing," manager Ozzie Guillen told the newspaper. "He's a veteran pitcher, would be a pretty good long reliever out of the bullpen, throws strikes, commands the pitches really well, has a tremendous forkball. I like the kid. He has a good chance." Long Reliever/Starter, he can pitch!
March 12, 200422 yr This is a guy I would like to see a lot more of. He seems to have some very good stuff. Hopefully he will stick.
March 12, 200422 yr Author Its allways great to have some international guys on the team. We have Americans, Canadians, Mexicans, Japanese, Venezuelans, Dominican Republicans, and I believe Columbians.
March 12, 200422 yr we seem to have a lot of those spanish speaking guys on our team. hey nothing wrong w/ that but im just saying.
March 12, 200422 yr Campos is also a Rule 5 guy from the Brewers organization. Let's keep him. MInor league Rule 5 right? All he has to do is stay on AAA's roster all year, IIRC. Anyone know for sure?
March 13, 200422 yr Long Reliever/Starter, he can pitch!

This was his first A outing, that is a lot of pressure. He might need another chance to relax a little.
March 13, 200422 yr Yeah from what happened today im kinda :headshake about him. but then again i dont know much about him so he's got another chance in my book, everyone is shaky at times!
March 13, 200422 yr He opened some eyes in the B games. Then he made Ozzie want to close his eyes today.
March 13, 200422 yr I want to see his next outing. This was his first A outing, that is a lot of pressure. He might need another chance to relax a little. He won't get many more chances.
March 13, 200422 yr He won't get many more chances. Depends I would think on what the coaching staff saw with his stint besides the massacre. Maybe he was doing something different or there were a lot of seeing eye's? I don't know, but it's still a bit early. However, it can't help him a lot either.

I don't know, but it's still a bit early. However, it can't help him a lot either. I'm usually someone that doesn't take note to one game, but he was pitiful. Every ball was absolutely crushed and everything he threw was absolutely straight. No Velocity, no stuff. It was brutal. He was lucky, he had a couple of shots that were snared by the Sox.
