Braves claim Pedro Beato

[Heyward]

@Braves: The Braves have claimed RHP Pedro Beato off waivers from Cincinnati. He will join the club in Washington and will wear #51.

[sentenza]

Why? And why we give him a spot on the 25-man roster?
He has only pitched 23 innings in the majors.

[Tapate50]

That last name is just low hanging fruit for GDTs.

[50PoundHead]

I heard that Pedro has a book of pithy sayings called The Beatotudes.

[bravesnumberone]

So we have Beato and we have Wood.

[CyYoung31]

That last name is just low hanging fruit for GDTs.

It's like the universe really is looking out for us.

[Heyward]

Would figure Butcher sent down.

[stpeteirish]

They'll probably option Buchter, which is what they wanted to do in the first place. Beato? No idea what we're getting here; big guy who throws hard.

[nsacpi]

So we have Beato and we have Wood.

And a Carpenter and slightly dyslexic Butcher, who will be replaced by Beato.

[MadduxFanII]

Beato was a pretty big prospect coming out of high school, as I recall. I have vague recollections of the Mets drafting him and then getting a lot of pressure from the commissioner's office not to go over-board with his contract.

That was a long freaking time ago, of course.

The Braves have a very good record of bringing in relievers off the scrap heap and turning them into a productive bullpen.

I'll trust them to do it again.

He can Beato you in a lot of ways.

[CyYoung31]

I definitely wouldn't Beato this transaction if I was the commish.

Excellent redirection.

[GovClintonTyree]

Beato relieves Wood a lot, I'll predict.

[BravesfanMike]

I'll trust them to do it again.

This is correct

[50PoundHead]

Any truth to the rumor that the Go-Gos will be performing a concert at the home opener now that "We Have the Beato?"

[50PoundHead]

I thought Beato's number would either be 3/4 or 4/4.

[CyYoung31]

I thought Beato's number would either be 3/4 or 4/4.

I was actually about to make this joke. Looks like you Beato me to the punch.

[yeezus]

His name is pronounces "be-ah-toe."
He was a good prospect for the orioles a few years ago.
