Yeah, you can tell Campbell is a Jays fan and never ever played the game of baseball at any type of level himself. But to his credit, he doesn't hide it, and is learning the job. As mentioned above it does take a few years to groom a guy for the job, so if Campbell can have another 5 years he may not be too bad. I still think he overbelieves in the Jays as they're still 4.5 games back of a playoff spot and are looking at 2 teams in front of them for the division, and 3 for the Wild Card.

As for color guys I like Mullinicks the best. He does need a bit of work with the broadcasting, but he does add good insight, and for the most part it's pretty impartial. I remember when he played, I always thought if theres a professional athlete who can't score a lot of woman, I bet it's Rance Mullinicks. Looked like your classic nerd, but was a decent ball player.

Should be an interesting week heading into the trade deadline. This years Jays have played well for sure and have hit the ball well all year. If they could get a guy to come in and give them some solid play at short, it would help them out a lot. I'm guessing Riccardi waits until Thursday to see if they can make up any more ground before he makes too many descisions. They're close, but making up this last little bit of ground does have long odds against it.
