Camargo could probably play the outfield. I've often wondered why we don't give him some time there in the minors to increase his value to the team. I started saying the same thing during this entire past offseason. I was half expecting him to play some OF in winter ball. Oh well.
If we could stick Matt Adams out there I'd be willing to try Camargo.
Camargo would most likely do very well in the outfield.

He would be fine in the outfield, but why? He's a great defensive infielder and we don't have some gaping hole in the outfield. He would probably be fine in the OF but not better than he is at 3rd or anywhere else in the infield.

***WEATHER UPDATE*** 6:48 PM EDT 28 May 2018
Unfortunately it looks like the HRRR is going to be right (it usually is). Activity is really picking up to the E/SE and numerous small cells are developing along with a larger cluster to the SSE. Several small cells have hit the Smyrna area in the last hour. I expect the larger cluster to reach the metro area by 7:30 PM and the Smyrna area by 7:45-8:00 PM. The smaller cells are a short term problem and could arrive at any time before the larger area makes an impact but the larger cluster of moderate to heavy rainfall currently looks like it could last about 45 minutes to an hour or more making for about a 1 1/2 to 2 hour delay. Rainfall HRRR is now up to ~.1"-.2" before 8 PM and 1"-1.25" from 8-10 PM. RAP has also upped the amounts but keeps the heavier rainfall to the south. Get ready for a Looong evening. Score early boys!
GO BRAVES!!!

***WEATHER QUICK UPDATE*** 7:25 PM EDT 28 May 2018 Echoes are moving somewhat faster than the last update so the rain may be out of here by 8:30 with less accumulation (.5"-1") than previous model runs. It is looking like the increasingly numerous smaller echoes from the east will merge with the larger band cluster making for some heavy rains from about 7:45-8:30 PM. Expect showers from the east to begin about 7:30 PM. The large cluster is part of a band stretching almost the whole width of GA. After the band passes it now appears we will have a reprieve for several hours. I hope the grounds crew is on it's game because we're probably in for an .5 -.75" of rain or more in about 45 minutes. Expect about 30 minutes of that to be moderate to heavy rain and 15 minutes to be light to moderate. A slight decrease in intensity has bee noted over the last half hour. It seems as though they are going to wait until 9 PM or later to start after the band moves through. Probably a smart move.

Thank you for the update PAbrave. This is the 3rd game in a row I've gone to now where there is rain. Obviously missed the first postponement of this game earlier in the year, and I tried going to the Cubs game a couple weeks ago that also got rained out.
I am really bringing the rain to Raintrust Park this season. Sounds like there's some hope if I stick around tonight.

He would probably be fine in the OF but not better than he is at 3rd or anywhere else in the infield. All that is true, but wouldn't he have more value if you could also play him in the outfield?

Who's Jason Isbell. Is he a Met? Singer.
His band is/was playing a concert at SunTrust after the game.
