Atlanta Braves and third base: is there any resolution in sight?

We've been suggesting for a while now our expectation that Johan Camargo will be the starting third baseman for the Atlanta Braves when the season opens, with Austin Riley getting extra hitting work in Gwinnett.

I don't think Riley got that memo. Or cares about its content, for that matter.

Both players are getting long looks, for sure: Riley - who played 3rd on Friday - now has edged ahead in AB's 21 to 18, but that will almost certain be equalized on Saturday.

We chatted briefly about this budding rivalry just a couple of days ago.
