Jace and Gant Optioned to AAA
Tuiasosopo, d'Arnaud, and Brignac to Atlanta
Also, Folty has been added to the roster.
We had one spot open from the failed Bonifacio move.

Good call. Discretion is the better part of valor.

On a more serious note...seems like Jace's stock has fallen awfully far, awfully fast.

hopefully we get a "Fredi Gonzalez relieved of his duties..." following the Mets series

When in doubt, take your light hitting, defensively solid 2B and play him in LF and 3B so you can get an old journeyman Utility guy consistent PT at 2B, then option him so you can bring up another mediocre veteran. Bravo, Braves.
My guess is one of Tuiasosopo/D'Arnaud gets sent down when Bonifacio is activitated. I'm guessing Garcia will get most starts in left and KJ most starts at third. Second will be a platoon of Brignac and Castro. Bench is now Francoeur, Bonifcacio and one of Tuiasosopo/D'Arnaud. Righty leaning bench when you consider Bonifacio hits better from the right side.
Are D'Arnaud an Brignac related to their previous MLB counterparts?
Forever Fredi
This looks so desperate.

If you guys thought NinersSBChamps was an ass before this well now that we've cut his real life cousin Stubbs he's gonna be even more Scroogesque.
Forever Fredi
It shows ruthless, single-minded calculation on the part of the front office. If our AAAA bench fodder can't cut it, we have no problem replacing them with more AAAA bench fodder.
I think Reid Brignac can be a useful player.
In the last two years his walk/strikeout rates have shown some improvement at the AAA level. 10.6/15.6 last year. And 13.6/13.6 this year. They should deteriorate some at the major league level, but there is some room for that to happen and for him to still be a useful major league player. He has a significant platoon split, so I hope Fredi will limit his at bats against lefties. I'm ok with a Brignac/Castro platoon at second for now.
No, I don't want no Stubbs.

I am sitting here wondering what any of these guys have done to warrant a call up to the big club. Old and worthless is what I am seeing, don't we have anyone worth a call up that might be actually useful?
