Who will be the Braves 3b opening day?

Santana could also play some third if needed while Camargo rests his back. I don't see Peterson as an option at third and Ruiz isn't good enough to be starting in MLB. Ruiz wouldn't even be on my bench at this point.

Santana tops my list of Braves players most likely to surprise to the upside in 2018.

He is not great at any position defensively, but can play pretty much everywhere passably. I also love having a switch hitter without significant splits on the bench. He looks to me like a better hitter than his stats over the past few years.

Anyhow...expecting a yuge season from Santana. Y'all heard it here first.
