Lots of Roster Moves

[striker42]

Stubbs DFA'd
Jace and Gant Optioned to AAA

Tuiasosopo, d'Arnaud, and Brignac to Atlanta

Also, Folty has been added to the roster.

We had one spot open from the failed Bonifacio move.

Just saw this come across.. Stubbs needed to go. I have no desire to see him catch more balls with his mouth..

I hear Kaz Tadano made a living at it.

I don't get this reference...and knowing you, I am not going to hit the google machine at work...

[Julio3000]

Good call. Discretion is the better part of valor.

[Julio3000]

On a more serious note...seems like Jace's stock has fallen awfully far, awfully fast.

Don't worry, it's Japanese ... so it's pixelated.

could be just to get him in more games and maybe build his confidence back against lessor opponents...

[bravesfanforlife88]

hopefully we get a "Fredi Gonzalez relieved of his duties..." following the Mets series

When in doubt, take your light hitting, defensively solid 2B and play him in LF and 3B so you can get an old journeyman Utility guy consistent PT at 2B, then option him so you can bring up another mediocre veteran. Bravo, Braves.

My guess is one of Tuiasosopo/D'Arnaud gets sent down when Bonifacio is activitated. I'm guessing Garcia will get most starts in left and KJ most starts at third. Second will be a platoon of Brignac and Castro. Bench is now Francoeur, Bonifcacio and one of Tuiasosopo/D'Arnaud. Righty leaning bench when you consider Bonifacio hits better from the right side.

[The Chosen One]

Are D'Arnaud an Brignac related to their previous MLB counterparts?

[Tapate50]

This looks so desperate.

If you guys thought NinersSBChamps was an ass before this well now that we've cut his real life cousin Stubbs he's gonna be even more Scroogesque.

[Julio3000]

It shows ruthless, single-minded calculation on the part of the front office. If our AAAA bench fodder can't cut it, we have no problem replacing them with more AAAA bench fodder.

Speaking of AAAA (which I thought was real as a 12 year old reading the fanhome days) what are Mr. Garcia and Buddy up to these days?

[nsacpi]

I think Reid Brignac can be a useful player.

In the last two years his walk/strikeout rates have shown some improvement at the AAA level. 10.6/15.6 last year. And 13.6/13.6 this year. They should deteriorate some at the major league level, but there is some room for that to happen and for him to still be a useful major league player. He has a significant platoon split, so I hope Fredi will limit his at bats against lefties. I'm ok with a Brignac/Castro platoon at second for now.

No, I don't want no Stubbs.

I am sitting here wondering what any of these guys have done to warrant a call up to the big club. Old and worthless is what I am seeing, don't we have anyone worth a call up that might be actually useful?

Brignac has a slash line of .329/.422/.400 in Gwinnett. This follows a very good spring training.

[Julio3000]

No, I don't want no Stubbs.

His game is kinda weak.

[The Chosen One]

His game is kinda weak.

Stubbs is type of guy that hangs on the passenger's side of his best friend's ride, trying to hollar at Fredi.

[nsacpi]

I guess since Inciarte is injured we don't need a right-handed hitter who can play center to give him a rest against tough lefties.

Francouer. :FrediConfident:

Don't forget it was Gonzalez that coined the Frenchy nickname.

I thought I recognized his singular wit and creativity there.

Although it must be noted that he learned from the master.

Bobby had everyone on the edge of their seats when he finally settled on Fooky for Furcal. Could have turned out a lot worse.

[UNCBlue012]

Surprised to see Jace go down, but he's been horrid.

I'm seeing band-aids as much as possible. We're hemorrhaging everywhere but hoping to keep the patient alive for at least another few weeks/months until the real medicine can be flown in.

d"Arnaud's brother is the Mets catcher. Brignac is the previous MLB player (Tampa 2008-2012, Colorado 2013, NYY 2013, Philly 2014, Marlins 2015).

Don't think Reid is related to former Braves draftee/washout Junior Brignac.
