Since April 30, Kristian Campbell has slashed .375/.474/.792 in 57 PAs. His SO rate may also be ticking down, from 34.5% before 4/30 to 26% since.

He's starting on Sunday.

If a guy in Portland, Greenville, or Salem starts on Tuesday, they're not starting again until the following Sunday. My guess, which I'll ask about when we get Brian or someone from Player Dev on the pod, is they're doing some kind of workout on that Monday off day.

Mike Lowell walked so that Duran and Mayer could run

He made a lot more sense when Romy was injured imo

My extremely educated and informed take is that Marcelo Mayer looks too cool playing baseball to not pan out as a baseball player. MLB teams, I am available for hire.

I'd give Valdez another shot first.

He's got that "it factor" I learned about from Michael Lewis.
