ATLANTA -- Travis Demeritte, Patrick Weigel, A.J. Minter and Dustin Peterson are among the Braves' prospects who have been invited to Major League camp for the first time this year. They will be joined by Ozzie Albies and Sean Newcomb, a couple of elite prospects who will return to Spring Training intent on building on the success they had while gaining this same first experience last year.
The Braves announced they have invited 20 non-roster players to participate in their big league camp this year. The list of non-roster invitees includes the aforementioned prospects and a crop of veterans that includes right-handed reliever Blaine Boyer and utility man Emilio Bonifacio, who stand as the most likely members of this group to earn a spot on Atlanta's Opening Day roster.
