Who would you welcome back?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It’s that time of year. Several ex-Braves have gotten the news that they won’t be on their respective teams’ Major League rosters to start the season, namely:
Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Rangers
Ryan Langerhans, Nationals
Pete Orr, Nationals
Marcus Giles, Rockies
Kyle Davies, Royals
Chris Reitsma, Mariners
Rudy Seanez, Dodgers
If those teams aren’t going to utilize their services, I wouldn’t mind having a few of them back in town when the Braves break Spring Training camp this weekend, particularly Salty. That would go a long way toward settling the current backup catcher dilemma and add another powerful switch-hitter off the bench, don’t you think?
Speaking of the bench, several current Braves are fighting to stay on their Major League roster. Who do you like?
Catcher: Brayan Pena, Clint Sammons, Corky Miller
Utility/Bench: Scott Thorman, Martin Prado, Josh Anderson, Gregor Blanco, Brent Lillibridge, Omar Infante
Pitchers: Jeff Bennett, Blaine Boyer, Chris Resop, Royce Ring
What if you could include someone from the list of ex-Braves above?
Traffic and Weather: The DOT has canceled plans to start work on the Downtown Connector this weekend, so you won’t have that to deal with en route to or from the games this weekend. But there is a 40% chance of rain on Saturday, so get out those ponchos.
Public Service Announcement: If you’re trying to divvy up season tickets among a group, there’s a cool-sounding new way to do it. Think “e-vite” meets fantasy draft. Here’s the story from MLB.com.
