    Braves sign Michael Reed (minor league deal)

    A quick google search shows he was a 5th round pick in 2011. He was an athletic CF who was always a good OBP guy, but developed a little power in 2015 and somewhat broke out. Last year he showed up to camp looking like a Defensive end asssumingly to increase the power, but got injured. He probably amounts to nothing, but the wild card is he has defense, speed, obp skills, and his new physique allows him to add powwer to the mix.

    Can he pass a drug test?? Sounds suspect to me.
    An athletic guy that suddenly added a bunch of muscle. Not saying he is a steroid user but....

    I think we'd have more luck if we exhumed the body of the late Lou Reed. But Lou would have to play in the field because his pitching was on the wild side.
