The Atlanta Braves have shown they are not shy to call up prospects quickly, and on Wednesday afternoon made the somewhat surprising call to bring up Vaughn Grissom, their top overall prospect, to the major leagues. With Ozzie Albies and Orlando Arcia on the mend for presumably at least another month there was a huge need to fill that spot in the lineup and Grissom is the best hitter among the options at their disposal.
When the Braves brought Michael Harris up from Double-A it was a move that immediately turned heads, but it seemed to open the door for the possibility of the same happening for Grissom.
