Walker is an OF that doesn't hit a lot but when he does hit the ball goes a long way. 27 HRs in 531 PAs in AAA last year. Only 25. Not a bad depth pickup.
LOL.. dude has a 38% K rate (last year in AAA).. I want Tuffy back please.
Championship!
Braves claimed OF Adam Brett Walker off waivers from the Orioles.
The former third-round pick of the Twins was designated for assignment by Baltimore last week to clear a roster spot for Mark Trumbo. Walker, 25, batted .243/.305/.479 with 27 home runs and 75 RBI in 132 games last season at the Triple-A level. He should find a path to the majors in Atlanta.

Just looked at Walker's numbers for the first time. This guy makes Demeritte look like a contact hitter. Yikes.
Only path he will be finding is the pedestrian bridge that all the other PAYING customers will take.Originally Posted by Tapate50

I don't mind having this guy in AAA as depth. I'd always rather have players with some serious flaws so long as they have an exceptional tool to hang their hat on than a guy that doesn't have any huge holes but can't do anything special. However, I'm not crazy about him taking up a 40 man spot that might be better used on someone else.
Losing Tuffy is nothing. After signing Suzuki we didn't have use of another catcher.
Wow.... 200 K's in AAA ball... "Just didn't feel right to not swing"

You have no idea. He set team records for Chattanooga in both home runs and strikeouts. And I mean ALL-TIME team records.
Walker is what they fondly call a "Coach Killer."
Is that a real quote?
I think it's a quote from the movie "Signs"
Yup from signs. The dude was the all time minor league homerun record holder as well as the all time strikeout record holder
Black Hessman!
Kiley put a 45 FV grade on him going into 2015. Not surprising to see us roll the dice on him.
What happened to Crash Davis' record???
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
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?
