Last night, for the third time in his last 10 games, Mallex had 3 hits, including two triples. After a slow start he’s raised his average to .280 at Gwinnett, and for the year he’s hitting .310 with a .370 OBP and 48 steals.
An OF of Smith, Maybin and Markakis is a decent bet to start 2016. I expect the Braves will make another run at Yankees catching prospect Gary Sanchez (.274-16-57), capping what may be a quieter offseason than anticipated.
But I could live with this:
Mallex
Maybin
Freddie
Olivera
Markakis
Sanchez/Pierzynski
Peterson
Simmons
