    Walker is an OF that doesn't hit a lot but when he does hit the ball goes a long way. 27 HRs in 531 PAs in AAA last year. Only 25. Not a bad depth pickup.

    Braves claimed OF Adam Brett Walker off waivers from the Orioles.

    The former third-round pick of the Twins was designated for assignment by Baltimore last week to clear a roster spot for Mark Trumbo. Walker, 25, batted .243/.305/.479 with 27 home runs and 75 RBI in 132 games last season at the Triple-A level. He should find a path to the majors in Atlanta.

    Just looked at Walker's numbers for the first time. This guy makes Demeritte look like a contact hitter. Yikes.

    Only path he will be finding is the pedestrian bridge that all the other PAYING customers will take.
