Zach Wheeler with a torn UCL. Will presumably need TJ.

#Braves latest cuts: INF Peraza optioned to Triple-A, RH Jenkins to AA. RH MCabrera and LH Gil to high-A. LH Feigl, C Yepez reassigned
A little surprised to see Feigl go this early, though I didn't expect him to make the team. Just thought they'd take a longer look at him given lack of MLB-ready depth at LHRP.
Jace makes a great defensive play at 2B ranging to the SS side and throwing out the runner at 1B. Seems like he has a chance to be an average to above-average defender at 2B. That would make him the best starting defensive 2B for the Braves since . . . not sure. Lemke? I've got to be forgetting someone.
Marcus Giles was pretty awesome for a while.
Natural Immunity Croc
Good call.
Bret Boone???
It's hard to express just how much more interesting this team would be with Jace Peterson starting every day instead of Collaspo.

Good thing Mike Adams isn't around.
The preferred nomenclature was B— B—e, right?

Not even sure the e was used.
I really hope that starting Callaspo isn't a legitimate option right now. I'd like to hvae him as our super util guy however.

Dude could pick it like Ravi Shankar, though.
Callaspo shouldn't be playing much at second if at all anyway, he has been bad there for years. He has been fine at third in the past though, at least defensively.
It seems to me Peterson is someone that can be good defensively at pretty much any position he plays. He reminds me of Martin Prado so far in that regard.
Everybody duck, look out as Chris Johnson "unloads the batting helmet" after being called out on strikes. :)
Chris Johnson will soon be the most hated player on the Braves. I still laugh at all the folks who defended that stupid extension.
