crowded yard
Leave town for a few days and all heck breaks loose with the Mississippi Braves' roster. A recent flurry of moves has seen the addition of two Top 10 pitching prospects — Julio Teheran and Randall Delgado — plus outfielders Yasser Gomez and Jordan Schafer. As of this moment, the M-Braves have six active outfielders plus prospect Cody Johnson on the DL. Double-A clubs can get by with four outfielders; six is way too many. Where will Schafer, the former No. 1 prospect, play? Center? Why didn't Atlanta just leave him with the Mississippi club after his rehab ended? He played really well in that brief stint, then scuffled at Triple-A Gwinnett. What happens to Antoan Richardson, who has done so well out there since being re-signed? Gomez, a Cuban defector, is considered a player on the rise. He's gotta play. Willie Cabrera is having a standout season; he needs to play, too — or get promoted. And the power-hitting Johnson needs to get back on the field soon. Michael Daniel and Concepcion Rodriguez must be on edge. There's not room for all those guys.

I agree that theres a whole lot of braves in the outfield. the braves have about 12 players waiting for a secure spot in the lineup. what will they do with so much talent? i hate to see these kids wait and wait for nothing, I say trade them to teams that will push them upward faster. dont let them get old waiting for a spot, then no team will want them, wasted talent once again.
one player that stands out is willie cabrera. I seen this kid since he was in Danville. He is a converted outfielder that can hit and play infield. he is consistent and strikes out very very little. i was looking at his stats and I must say very impressive since he joined the Braves. I'm on the Willy BAND WAGON..
