The 6-foot-3, highly athletic rookie is best-suited for a position where he can maximize his range. He has also never played first in his four seasons as a professional.<\/p>\n<p>But, should Campbell somehow earn the job, it would open up a world of possibilities for manager Alex Cora. For one, it would ease the Devers tension.
