Or Maybe the Atlanta Braves Do… Nothing for 3rd Base?
Sometimes, you almost wish you don’t hear quotes from your team. Here’s a prime example:
#Braves Coppy said Garcia most likely 3B if Olivera in LF. Mentioned FAs KJohnson & Uribe as possibilities. Olivera also could play some 3b

Seriously? Oh my…
As we understand it, the reason that the Braves are thinking that Hector Olivera needs to go ahead and move to the outfield is because they believe his work at third base is not major-league-adequate. Okay, I can accept that.
So instead, Plan A becomes “put the worst actual third baseman you have in the organization at the position instead” (now that Edward Salcedo is gone).
