Braves Sign Tyler Greene

[rico43]

In their quest to find a second baseman, the Braves have signed Tyler Greene to a Minor League deal and assigned him to Triple-A Gwinnett, the team announced via Twitter. Greene, who turned 30 years old today, was released by the White Sox on Tuesday.

He was 1-for-3 with a hit, an RBI and a walk and two runs scored in Gwinnett's 4-2 win over Toledo.

I saw that but I hope he's just for minor league depth. Greene has been pretty bad defensively. He also doesn't bring much with the bat. When you consider his defense, I am not sure you'd even start him over Janish at second. He'd have to hit a lot better than he has in the past to consider it, IMO.

That said, I am all for extra infield depth in the minors. I am hoping the Braves signed him for depth while they keep looking for a better option.

It seems he was out for the season anyway. But they'd let him stick around till this point.

This is the same Tyler Greene they drafted out of HS who attended GT, correct?
