Eric Campbell helped lead Fargo-Moorhead to a second straight Northern League title and now he's back in affiliated ball. The 25-year-old hit .311 with 22 homers in 302 at-bats for Fargo after getting cut by the Phillies in spring training. A Braves second-round pick in ’04, Campbell bashed 18 home runs in the Rookie-level Appalachian League in ’05, winning MVP honors, and then 22 more for low Class A Rome in ’06. He wore out his welcome with the Braves, however, and when he stopped hitting (just .241/.308/.331 for Double-A Mississippi in ’09), Atlanta released him.
