    Gattis tearing it up at AAA

    Well, the Braves plan of sending Gattis to AAA is apparently working well. So far, he's 4 for 6, with 3 extra base hits, including a homerun tonight.

    He also showed off his arm throwing out a runner at second too. That said, I still disagree with how the situation was handled. But I am happy to see him finally getting some AB's, even if it's at AAA.

    Braves were in a tough spot because of his hot he started but they haven't handled Gattis well. He should have been in Gwinett a while ago. By the end of June to mid July it was clear he was flawed and needed more work. Hopefully he will be back strong next year.

    It's pretty clear they need that threat on their bench right now. It's marginal how long Reed Johnson would be available, if at all, and Pastornicky would have been that other RH bat.

    He's an easy out right now. I don't consider him a threat at this moment. The guy needs to learn how to hit. I believe he will be he needs everyday at bats.

    Not sure who you're talking about but Gattis knows how to hit. He just needs to learn how to not hit, or rather not swing at pitches meant to make him chase.

    I also think it hurts him to play multiple positions.
