I'm also pretty sure that Bonifacio is still a better hitter than D'Arnaud. I'm basing this on 2016 data rather than the very small sample we have for both this year.
I don't think either of them belongs on a well-constructed bench. They are both the kind of player you stash in AAA in case of injury.

Both are classic 25th guys in an earlier era, but in the current game with 12- and 13-man pitching staffs, you need better guys on the bench. Jace Peterson makes either or these guys redundant. Hopefully Lane Adams adds something and at least gives the team a true 4th OF option. They should give Adams some ABs to see what we have in him.
Lane Adams is not the answer to any question the Braves have, regardless of how hopeful any of the posi-Braves want to be.

Lane Adams is exactly the guy the Braves should be playing. he is 27 and pretty much given up on. This guy has a shot at becoming the next Adruw Jones..

I wish they would just bring Howard on up, so we can have the Bonnie DFA party....
I'm sure no one WANTS to "give up" on Newcomb as a starter, but there's no doubt he's got the stuff to be an Andrew Miller-like weapon in the pen right now. Kinda scary to think of what a return to health for Lindgren would mean, Suddenly you'd have an unbelievably nasty pen...
Johnson
Vizcaino
Minter
Cabrera
Newcomb

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?
