Adonis Out Two Months

He wasn't my favorite player, but his story was a good one nevertheless. He came from Cuba dirt poor and made his way to the big leagues at age 30 through the minor league free agent route and stuck around as a starter for a couple of years. He even was genuinely a good player in the second half last year.

While I hope his days as a Brave are over, I hope he has one last run in him.
 
I wouldn't mind him coming back as a bench player. However, we need to go after Moustakas during the offseason.
 
Moustakas is Scott Boras player and probably will be very expensive plus he will want a 4 to 6 years contract. Braves dont deal with Scott Boras.
 
While the Braves do need a 3B and Garcia isn't the answer and it's unlikely that Ruiz s the answer, Moustakas likely will be recruited hard by the Yankees who will also need a 3B and may even head there at the trade deadline

You're the one who always says that it should be a full blown rebuild. Ruiz is OK is stopgap until the more serious 3B prospects develop.

Another option might be Trevor Plouffe. Only 31, was just DFA by Athletics. If he clears waivers, can be had for the minimum.

Plouffe's quite a story. 1st round pick of the Twins who was really struggling, but he scrapped like hell and made it to the bigs. Played just about everywhere on the diamond for the Twins except C and CF and had a couple of decent seasons. No world-beater, but a decent RH hitter off the bench who can play 3B and 1B and maybe some corner OF.
