Would be surprised if Jace is "cut" in the spring unless he completely flounders. Micah Johnson hasn't been able to stick anywhere, but has wheels if he can ever figure out how to steal 1st.
Adding Kelly Johnson again would be so Braves.

No doubt. That's what makes me think camp could be so interesting.
Let's just imagine for a moment that Albies does win the job. That and a Valbuena signing then makes all three of Jace, Adonis, and d'Arnaud "expendable" IMO. Make Bonifacio the 4th OF/backup CF. Platoon Valbuena/Rodriguez at 3B, and Rodriguez becomes the backup corner OF. Albies could slide over anytime Dansby gets a day off, and Bonifacio or Rodriguez could fill in for him at 2B.
CF- Ender, SS- Swanson, 1B- Freeman, LF- Kemp, RF- Markakis, 3B- Valbuena/Rodriguez, C- Wieters/Flowers, SP, 2B- Albies
You'd have speed on the bench (Bonifacio), both right-handed and left handed pop on the bench (Flowers/Rodriguez/Valbuena/Wieters), plus the flexibility to carry an extra pen arm (release Roe, and you could still carry both Winkler and Rivero).
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
