DBacks puzzling offseason continues

They actually traded for Tony Campana.

Good riddance

Basically getting anything for Campana seems like a win to me.

I don't know a thing about the 2 prospects we got for him but they have to be better than Campana.

From the article, not a glowing review:

As for the return package, the Cubs will receive two 17-year-old right-handers -- Erik Leal and Jesus Castillo -- who have shown the ability to miss bats at the bottom-most levels of the D-Backs' system. It's likely they'll never achieve much of consequence at the highest level, but parting with even one lottery ticket in exchange for a player like Campana is hard to justify.

With you in this one, maybe the guys they got in return won't amount to anything, but at this point, a bag of balls had more trade value than tony.

Sounds like the Cubs got what they wanted in 2 more pitchers. They both sound kind of intriguing.

Awww. Laugh all you want, but I kind of liked Campana. He played hard. I remember when he got his first homerun, I thought "How the **** did Tony Campana hit a homerun?" Figures it was inside the park, haha

I actually like the route they're taking in Arizona.

I seen somewhere that Doug Flute was going to get a shot as Knuckleballer in the D-Bags system?
