Atlanta Braves Making The Team Meter 2011: Week 5
The fifth (and likely final) week of the Atlanta Braves Making the Team Meter (MTM), and we are down to just a couple of roster battles. Diory Hernandez was a surprise cut by the Braves, so that may have resolved one bench spot. As always we'll assume that there is a group that has already made...
Braves Make Third Round Of Spring Roster Cuts
The Atlanta Braves have made their third round of spring training roster cuts: Right-handed pitchers Juan Abreu and Jairo Asencio were optioned to Gwinnett (AAA) along with left-handed pitcher Mike Minor, infielder Diory Hernandez and outfielder Jordan Schafer. So much on holding off on that Mike...
Braves Name Brandon Beachy Their Fifth Starter
Bill Shanks has the scoop from Disney on the battle for the Atlanta Braves fifth starter job: Brandon Beachy will be the 5th starter. Mike Minor has been optioned down to AAA Gwinnett. He is here on the back fields now working out. Seems like the right move to me. This has been rumored for a few...
Considering The Options For The Braves Final Bullpen Spot
A week ago it looked pretty grim that Scott Proctor would come anywhere close to making the Atlanta Braves bullpen out of spring training. After an appearance that lasted less than an inning in which he gave up five runs, everyone seemed to be calling for Proctor's release. He then missed his next...
Atlanta Braves Making The Team Meter 2011: Week 4
The fourth week of the Atlanta Braves Making the Team Meter (MTM), and we get more cuts from the team, several of them were predicted my last week's MTM. We had cut Johan Flande, Shawn Bowman, and Wilkin Castillo last week, and the Braves cut them this week. They also cut Brent Clevlen, Jose...
Atlanta Braves Making The Team Meter 2011: Week 3

Atlanta Braves Making The Team Meter 2011: Hitters, Week 2
The Atlanta Braves Making the Team Meter (MTM) for the hitters enters its second week. Not much change from last week, only Lucas is really standing out at this point. We'll assume that there is a group that has already made the team, a pretty safe assumption with these guys: Starters: Brian...
Atlanta Braves Making The Team Meter 2011: Pitchers, Week 2
The second week of the Atlanta Braves Making the Team Meter (MTM). Not that many changes from last week, this early in spring it's hard to gauge the inclination of a player to make the team when there's a month worth of spring baseball left. Still, we can look at what is being written and how the...
Atlanta Braves Making The Team Meter 2011: Hitters, Week 1
The original Making the Team Meter (MTM) returns for its sixth year as the one-stop shop for finding out which Atlanta Braves players will break camp with the team, and which ones are headed back to the minors. Throughout spring training I'll track the progress of each player who does not yet have...
