Junior Caminero

Crawford gave up five hits, walked four and struck out six. He allowed a two-run home run to Junior Caminero in the third inning and four runs on singles in the fifth inning before he was removed. Crawford finishes the year 9-16 with a 4.36 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 175 strikeouts in 183 2/3 innings. The strikeout total is nice, but his 4.35 xFIP suggests he wasn't unlucky to have that ERA. If anything, his .247 BABIP suggests he was fortunate to have a 1.12 WHIP given his career BABIP is .271.

Caminero's home run was his sixth of the year. He hit a two-run shot off Kutter Crawford in the third inning. Caminero is hitting .255 with a .741 OPS and 18 RBI heading into the last game of the regular season.

Caminero's home run was his fifth of the year. He hit a solo shot in the third inning off Keider Montero. Caminero certainly isn't going to sneak up on anyone in drafts next year. The top prospect in the minors at the time of his call up, Caminero has only scratched the surface of his sky high fantasy ceiling so far.

Presumably, Caminero will be available off the bench. Jose Caballero will bat sixth and play third base in his stead. Expect Caminero back in the lineup on Friday.

Caminero is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox.
