D-backs sign Camp, Release Hinske




Just noticed it on MLB's website that the D-backs signed reliever Shawn Camp and assigned him to Triple-A Reno as they released Eric Hinske to make room for him.

Camp has been a mildly decent reliever for his career, but seeing that his ERA jumped to over seven, as well as blowing three games for his 26 appearances with the Chicago Cubs this year, it seems hes going to be more of a short option if something happens to the bullpen.

Ah the #FreeHinske campaign seemed not so long ago, to bad it didn't inspire Hinske with his demotion to Reno as he hit only one ball in 18 at bats.

For the past few years his average and RBI count has slowly diminished, sporting a .176 AVG with 6 RBI with the Diamondbacks this year.
