Athletics Add Six Players To 60-Man Pool

By Steve Adams | July 1, 2020 at 7:01pm CDT

The Athletics on Wednesday announced the addition of six players to their 60-man player pool: infielders Eric Campbell and Robert Puason, right-handers Wandisson Charles and Miguel Romero, and outfielders Luis Barrera and Brayan Buelvas will all join the group. Campbell will head to Oakland to join the team’s big leaguers, while the other five will head to the Athletics’ alternate training site.

Campbell, 33, is the lone member of the bunch with Major League experience. From 2014-16, Campbell was an up-and-down utility option for the Mets, appearing at all four infield spots and both corner outfield positions while hitting .221/.312/.311 in 505 plate appearances. Campbell spent the 2017 season in Japan and has been with the Triple-A clubs for the Marlins and Athletics organizations. In all, he’s seen action in parts of six Triple-A campaigns and batted a combined .310/.417/.480 in 1880 plate appearances.

Among the prospects, Puason is the most well-regarded of the bunch. The 17-year-old signed with the A’s as the headliner of their July 2 class of international prospects a year ago, inking a hearty bonus of nearly $5MM. A switch-hitting, 6’3″ shortstop with plus speed, a strong throwing arm and projectable hitting tools, Puason is a long ways from the Majors and surely won’t be considered for a role with Oakland’s big league club in 2020. He’s yet to even suit up for a game with the Oakland’s affiliate in the Dominican Summer League, but the A’s clearly want to ensure that his first full season in the organization affords him some game reps — even if only in simulated games — and some time with the coaching and player development staff.

Barrera, though, is a much more near-term option for the A’s. The 24-year-old hit .321/.365/.513 in 54 Double-A games last year and ranks ninth among Oakland farmhands at MLB.com. He split the 2019 season between center field and right field and is on the Athletics’ 40-man roster, so it’s highly feasible that he could get the opportunity to debut in the event of some injuries on the Major League club.

    Free speech and people being “deleted” from sites for no actual reason, except that an AI engine saw a keyword, because they want to keep the Google money coming in for mask advertisements is pretty freaky.

    Good luck MLBTR guys. Good luck. Time to move on. You guys will do well on unemployment.

    I used to provide comments on MLB and AAA guys I know, but yeah, this is weird and you need to find new advertising models ASAP.

        They need to go subscription based now. They (or their advertising partner) are automatically deleting accounts like crazy for bizarre reasons that have nothing to do with anything other than saying “Black Sox” in regards to the ChiSox World Series gambling scandal for example.

        It is creepy and bizarre and will end this website very soon unless somebody fixes it.

          Bro, if I’m still here, no one’s getting deleted. It appears you have just lost the plot.

      I don’t see any comments from you in the trash or pending — from either of the accounts that you apparently use to regularly comment.

      But thanks for the cryptic conspiratorial accusations, I guess?

        Oooo I love a good conspiracy. Gimme a second to get my favorite foil hat. Made with real tin!

        …. moments later….

        Alright, I’m ready. Tell me about the aliens deleting comments on random comment boards that have keywords that don’t conform to their brainwashing subliminal advertising agenda! You can put it on the board, yes!

          It isn’t aliens! That’s ridiculous! It is definitely a deep state corporation or royal family that is doing it!!! And tell us where the rebels are!

          Steve is discrediting a perfectly valid conspiracy theory! Did anyone else hear that Barry Bonds was falsely accused of juice? He just had elephantiasis of the head.

          I have two accounts. I can’t remember my password on my phone and it was easier to just create a new account. Dewey an Looie both belong in the hall.

      Heck, CBS Sports is SO reliable as a source. It’s not like they’re trying to sell advertising or anything.
