SAN PEDRO de MACORIS, Dominican Republic — There’s your kid right there, the man says.
PENA and OVIEDO and BAUTISTA start jogging out to stretch. It is Monday, on a windy morning at the Detroit Tigers’ Dominican Republic academy, and Roberto Campos is walking through the batting cage.
Campos, a 16-year-old, is the best Tigers prospect you don’t know about. He grew up in Cuba, moved to the D.R. nearly four years ago and signed with the Tigers in July for a $2.
