Look d3a I've been consistent about this. I expect LaHair and Campana to come down due to their BABIP numbers being high while I expect Stewart and Soto to improve due to their numbers being low. The reason I don't think a .280/.340 line is reasonable to expect is that because Campana has no power pitchers aren't afraid to groove a get me over pitch to avoid the walk. That will lead to more hits but I doubt his walk rate will jump that much from what it already is about 5%. He also strikes out way more than a no power guy can at 19%. He doesn't put enough balls in play to keep the average high even assuming he has a higher than average BABIP due to his speed.
I agree he does K to much for a guy with no power. Hopefully playing everyday he can learn the strikezone better. I just hate the fact guys write him off so quickly when he has been one of the surprises this year. For a team who cant score he one of the guys who does seem to do something everday to help score runs
