Our Atlanta Braves lost in heartbreaking fashion last night…
…DIVERSION! QUICK! BEFORE WE ALL GO INSANE WITH CUTE KITTEN VIDEO OVERLOAD! How ’bout we talk about our center fielders, and how to fix the issue at hand.
Yesterday, we looked at “The Atlanta Braves, a tale of 2 Splits” and through the research, it was proven that the Braves are finding success with the platoons in LF and 3b, platoons that were put in place prior to the 2015 season’s start. And while the CF platoon the Braves currently sport wasn’t built until the day before the season when Cameron Maybin was one of the pieces acquired in the Craig Kimbrel trade, it’s been there and it’s been largely ineffective due to the left side of that platoon, Eric Young Jr. Is there anything the Braves can do to combat the inefficiency in CF? Internal options were discussed in the above piece, but it was widely concluded that there isn’t really a perfect piece in our current Minor League system. Are there options on the trade market? I think so. Let’s look at who might fit the bill.
