Atlanta Braves 2017 Player Preview: Paco Rodriguez

Paco Rodriguez is the lone survivor of the trade that brought him to the Atlanta Braves over 18 months ago. He was sent over to the Braves with Hector Olivera for Alex Wood, Luis Avilan, Jim Johnson, and Bronson Arroyo.

Zachary Bird (who was lost to the Rangers in the Rule 5 Draft this past December) was also included in that three team trade. After arm surgery and a decent reputation preceding him from the Dodgers, could Paco crack the Opening Day Roster?
