Hairston is an improvement over Campana. I see Campana moving on. he has no pop and when you just need as little as a medium deep fly ball to score a run, he's incapable too often. Hairston still runs okay and can play a decent outfield. But if they really want to upgrade the club, forget about Villanueva (who's contract has not been finalized) and sign Shaun Marcum, who is still a free agent.

Marcum signed with the Mets. I would imagine that Campana and Lendy Castillo will be DFA'd at the latest possible date to minimize the possibility of them being signed to another teams 40-man. Sappelt can take Campana's place.

The Cubs announced that they have traded outfielder Tony Campana to the Diamondbacks in exchange for minor league right-handed pitchers Erick Leal and Jesus Castillo. The Cubs designated Campana for assignment last week to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Scott Hairston.

Campana, 26, finished 2012 with a slash line of .264/.308/.299 in 192 plate appearances. The speedster also racked up 30 stolen bases last season, good for ninth in the National League. The Diamondbacks are already more than set in the outfield, so its not clear what kind of role they have in mind for Campana.

Venezuelans Leal and Castillo are both just 17-years-old and spent time with the D'Backs Dominical Summer League affiliate in 2012. Leal posted a 2.44 ERA with 9.0 K/9 and 1.4 BB/9 in 12 starts and two relief appearances. Meanwhile, Castillo had a 5.40 ERA with 7.9 K/9 and 3.3 BB/9 in eight starts and six games out of the bullpen.

Yeah you can't really complain about that. A couple lottery tickets out of Venezuela that the Dbag had invested hundreds of thousands to sign.... for a 1-tool OF
