Unknøwn Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 The Braves are considering Clint Barmes as one potential way of replacing Chipper Jones, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. The Braves, who lost Chipper to season-ending knee surgery last week, cannot deal for Barmes yet, since the Rockies have yet to place him on waivers. Martin Prado, who should soon return from the disabled list, would play third and Barmes would play second if the Rockies and Braves were to complete a deal.The Braves have a number of players in the organization who can play third. Troy Glaus will not return to the hot corner, but Prado, Omar Infante, Brooks Conrad and even Eric Hinske are options.Aramis Ramirez, Pedro Feliz, Wes Helms, Adam Kennedy, Jose Lopez, Brandon Inge, Jhonny Peralta, Ty Wigginton, Edwin Encarnacion, Melvin Mora and Willie Bloomquist are among the infielders who could become targets for Atlanta should GM Frank Wren decide to make a trade. The Braves had not asked the Mariners about Chone Figgins as of last Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLBrave Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 He'd be OK in a platoon with Infante at 2B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K26dp Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 We already have Clint Barmes on the team. We call him Brooks Conrad.I wonder if the Braves actually are targeting someone else, and leaked this as a smokescreen. Seems kind of strange that they'd be looking at someone who hasn't even been put on waivers yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
