Braves sign Huddys ankle breaker

76, I'm mostly aligned with the tiers you posted above on the OF competition. Regarding contract status though, Almonte is out of options and I believe Perez has one option left. I read somewhere (can't find link now) that the Yankees asked for and received a 4th option year on Perez. For guys who's minor league service time includes a certain number or years in short-season leagues, they are eligible for a 4th option year. Given all of this, EY Jr may have a leg up on Cunningham and Perez for a 5th OF spot if he can prove his ability to play CF.

Eric Young Jr. gets a $1M base salary with $750K in easily attainable incentives if he makes #braves big-league roster.

@jcrasnick
The #Braves plan to use Young in LF, CF and at 2B. He could be a nice fit for a team that's short on outfielders

Missing an adjective, Jerry.

I was told Perez was out of options, but if that isn't the case then great because that means we can keep him without having him in the Majors. Further, I would agree that EY Jr. would probably have a leg up on Perez and Cunningham in that case. But one reason I say that is because EY Jr. has mostly hit his best in Spring Training including four straight years and counting of hitting around .300 or so with three straight ST putting up a much better OPS (.747-.748) than his usual regular season OPS numbers (.610-.645). Thanks mostly to a much better OBP in Spring Training (including a .375-.377 OBP last two ST). If he does that here that should be enough to make Fredi a fan.

I found this link on Perez and the Yankees being granted a 4th option, so given this information I'll update and correct that post. Thanks!
