One of the first moves that Alex Anthopoulos made as the Braves’ general manager was to send cash considerations to the Dodgers and snag reliever Josh Ravin from them. While Ravin did not end up playing for the Braves much and his season was most certainly not the one he hoped for, it is worth chronicling his year nonetheless.
Ravin was drafted way back in the 2006 draft by the Reds and his lengthy minor league career was one that was marked by very real promise but also with injuries and a lengthy PED suspension.
