Bench Targets

8. Howie Kendrick

How odd would it be to see the Nationals and Braves link up for a trade? Anyways, as the season goes on, it’s looking more and more like the Nationals will be sellers come July.

Howie Kendrick is much like our own Johan Camargo except with a longer track record. He can play all over the diamond and has pop in his bat.

Pairing him with Camargo, Matt Joyce, Charlie Culberson, and a backup catcher would provide the Braves with maybe the best bench in the NL.

9. James McCann

One has to wonder if Tyler Flowers is truly the best option to split time with Brian McCann.

I wouldn’t mind an all McCann catching duo for the Atlanta Braves.

James McCann is off to a roaring start for the White Sox batting .366 over the course of 93 at-bats in 2019 so far.

I think the pairing of the McCanns would give the Braves a lethal catching combo.

10. Domingo Santana

This one is a little more far fetched than any other as Domingo Santana should probably be a starter on most teams.

This past winter, I wrote about how the Braves should try trading for Santana from Milwaukee. That article never got put out because he was traded to Seattle about 20 minutes later.

Again though, this one would probably be only likely if an injury came along. He could give Nick Markakis a day or two off a week if acquired and could replace Ender Inciarte if Ender doesn’t straighten things out.

Next. What to do with Ender?. dark

So these are 10 players we could see the Atlanta Braves having interest in if things stay the same for the next couple of months. Who would you want, and who would you want us to stay away from? Let us know below.
