Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos: My biggest concern is our depth

An underrated aspect of the Braves’ recent run of success – three consecutive National League East titles and an NL Championship Series appearance last season – has been the team’s depth. It’s understandable, then, why general manager Alex Anthopoulos is leaving no stone unturned in his search for bench upgrades.

On paper, the Braves’ bench isn’t imposing. The back-up catcher spot will be filled by a youngster in Alex Jackson or William Contreras, neither of whom has proven much at the highest level. Johan Camargo, who’s underwhelmed the past two seasons, is expected to have a utility role.
