I just saw that. He should be happy to pitch anywhere.

I think he ends up with the As.

Matt (Northern VA)

What do you make of the Bethancourt, Simmons, Peraza up-the-middle combination the Braves will trot out at some point this year? Are they good enough defensively that the Braves can deal with only having one of them hit?

The biggest change Atlanta has made this offseason is hiring Kevin Seitzer as hitting coach. They've had dismal results from that position over the last 6-7 years, with players experiencing swing changes/regressions, unable to make adjustments, devolving from line-drive hitters to groundball hitters ... Heyward was one guy they kind of ruined, and Simmons might be the biggest project for Kevin Seitzer to tackle. (Aside from BJ Upton, who might be a lost cause.

I thought this was interesting. Greg Walker was That Guy from 2012-14 but before that held the same position for the White Sox when Dunn had his miserable season.

Eury was claimed by Atlanta. He's probably got a a good shot at a backup outfielder job in the majors with them.

Can't be worse than BJ.

I hope Eury gets some playing time. I always thought he could be good.

Good for him. Ballmer treated him like crap.
