Kevin Colbert is no stranger to making a training camp deal. In fact, he’s one of the most active GMs during the month of August according to a study we conducted last year. It hasn’t always worked out – see Brandon Boykin, JJ Wilcox, and Josh Scobee – but acquiring Vance McDonald was a clear win. Adding Ryan Switzer last year seems to be trending that way, too.
The downside to making that move is how late in the process come. ‘Training camp’ is sorta a misnomer.
