Braves Sign Beckham

[nsacpi]

I wonder if they don't try to find an upgrade for Eury Perez at the end of spring training.

Jake Cave is available in the Rule 5 draft.

[UNCBlue012]

I think you answered you own question.

there's a difference between a puncualized statement and question mark ;) I'm alright with it because of the low price tag.

Will the Braves have a spot on the 40-man? I haven't looked lately, but with the recent signings, things might be tight.

We'll find out tonight if they non-tender Minor and Ciriaco.

[Enscheff]

I'm willing to bet both are gone.

The problem with Cave or the other Rule V guys is that you HAVE to keep them on the 25-Man Roster or offer them back. The Braves can tuck Perez away back in Gwinnett if/when Smith gets his chance.

yes, if they non tender both then we will have 39 spots filled. one spot left for the rule 5 pick or KJ..

I don't like guaranteeing roster spots for terrible players

Perez is out of options.

The Braves Way

[Oklahomahawk]

the wide out or the soccer player?

I was kinda hoping it was Victoria. She'd be great as the other bookend with Kate Upton. I criticize the Braves' FO and will no doubt continue to do so, but they definitely made the right decision and kept the right Upton from that magazine cover.

There are also some guys currently on the 40 man that we could designate for assignment. Burawa for example.

It's a Brave new world.

Knew he was close - didn't check. My bad. Wouldn't be opposed to taking a shot with Cave or one of the other guys in that case - costs you $25,000 if you have to offer him back.

[The Chosen One]

Remember when Gordon was one of the next big things lol.

what.. Andrew Mckrappy can go before Burawa.

[50PoundHead]

I forget that the Braves signed Brignac to a minor league deal and if he hits in spring training, he could be the middle IF back-up while Castro gets steady time in Gwinnett.

He does hit left, but is nowhere near the hitter that Kelly Johnson is.

I think Cunniff could qualify for membership in that club as well.

I wasn't advocating him over Johnson. Brignac is on a minor league deal and I think there will be a lot of moves at the end of spring training. I'm all for signing Kelly Johnson.
