Clayton Campbell is my sleeper prospect this year. Inside out swing reminds me a bit of Bigbie. Betting he starts showing up on some Top 20 prospect lists within the Org by the end of the year.
I'm a little surprised that Lockhart got opening day for Erie given the other pitchers on that team. Happy Non-AAA everyone. I'll start up my usual round ups next week during the week 😁.

More Clark and Langford discussion here but shocking it says the same as lots of people here about lets wait and see; as we all knew Langford would more than likely make it to the majors before Clark but not at the rate he has so far so that is why people are bringing it up so much. I wonder if Nationals and Pirates fans are having these same discussions.
Which isn't shocking, the Org has been pretty adamant that they believe in dominating the strike zone and that's what Hurter does so he probably does sit higher in their eyes.
The other thing is we don't know what Langford's number was for the Tigers. He very well could have had one that requested he be the highest paid in the draft for the Tigers or significantly over slot which Tigers didn't want to do as I am guessing Harris wanted to start filling the minors with his type of players. So much goes into this that we don't have visibility to. That being said I hope fans give Clark a better treatment than they gave Jobe.
