We all knew 1 or more of those guys where going to have some sort of trouble this year after that workload. Thankfully AA planned for it.

Yeah they pitched alot last year and It is good that AA saw that and reinforced the pen the way that he did.

Goins, Gosselin and Valaika all sent to minor league camp. All 3 were battling a backup IF role with Arica. This could be a signal a minor move is coming for a bench bat. Gosselin had been largely expected to join Arica on the roster.

Maybe they bring back Justin Upton after the clears waivers.

Braves make it official, Muller to AAA. They also placed Luke Jackson on the 60 day IL and added Darren O'Day to the 40 man. The Braves confirmed a torn UCL for Luke. He'll be the first Brave to have TJ surgery in the AA/Snitker/Kranitz era.

Snitker announced Davidson and Strider will be on the Opening Day roster. He'll play matchups on which will be starting as the 6th man.  Contreras is also getting the final bench spot. Apparently they plan to work Contreras at 3B, so they can use him at OF, 3B or C if necessary. Arcia will backup 2B/SS. Riley and Duvall will remain the backup 1B options.

That is interesting.

How has Contreras looked outside of catcher??

I’d thought they would have Contreras work at 3B in the minors and use his roster spot on an extra pitcher.
