One of the newest players to join the Chicago White Sox organization is Tony Campana, who last played with the Los Angeles Angeles of Anaheim organization. He will, if nothing else, bring a lot of speed to spring training in February.

Excited for the new opportunity with White Sox organization!

Campana, who is 5-8, 165 pounds, can play in the outfield and could also be a good pinch hitter/runner off the bench for the White Sox if he were able to make the roster.

Last year, he played in 44 MLB games, 26 with the Arizona Diamondbacks and 18 with the Angels, where he finished with a .187 batting average, with 14 hits and five RBIs.

Though he finished with the under .200 batting average overall last season, he can still be a quality player on the MLB roster. Campana, who is 28 years old, also had four stolen bases in six chances. For his career, Campana has 66 steals and has only been caught stealing nine times in 257 total MLB games played.

In reading about Campana it says the following in an article by the Chicago Tribune:

"“The diminutive Campana was a fan favorite on the North Side who stole 54 bases in 59 attempts in 2011-’12 while hitting .262. The Cubs dealt him to Arizona in spring training of 2013, and the Angels acquired Campana last summer before he became a free agent in October.”"
