Atlanta Braves Opening Day countdown: 64, Emilio!

Certain players seem to stick on the Atlanta Braves roster far beyond their usefulness. Whether it’s due to a comfort level with the manager, having compromising pictures of the front office, or what sorts of trickery may be employed by players to remain on the roster. One of those players was certainly Emilio Bonifacio.

Pre-Braves Career

Before he came to the Atlanta Braves, Emilio Bonifacio was actually a player that many teams would want on their roster. His speed and contact ability allowed him to put up a .267/.329/.343 line with 110 stolen bases through 2012, playing all over the field.
