Martin Prado might miss six to eight weeks with a sprained finger.  I really like the way Prado plays the game and he is a real good hitter; but the Braves got a good replacement for him.

Hate to see Prado on the DL, but agree that we picked up a good'un as a short term replacement.

I hope that during his time on the DL, that Martin learns that you do NOT slide into 1st base.  I'm sure it must be instinctive to do it when you are about to be out but that's where you have to be smart and THINK!

What is the current report on Infante?  Wasn't he supposed to be back after the first month?


Norton looks to be a good pickup as the Braves add yet another switch hitter to the roster.


ah I just found info on infante.  He's reporting to Richmond soon to begin his rehab assignment.  Gotta wonder now if he'll be called up to atlanta or if he'll stay in Richmond.

According to Dave O'Brien Infante will be called up after a rehab assignment. The Braves will then be left with the decision to trade Pena or reassign Corky Miller. My opinion is I would rather have Pena on the bench just for his versatility as a player and of course his bat. But if the Braves can get a good piece (starting pitcher) in return for Pena, then I say do it. The move today to get Norton, very good of Frank Wren I might add, will add the bat we need to the bench and allow us to concentrate on moving Pena. But, and I must stress this, don't just give Pena away. If there is nothing there then keep him and make the bench stronger. Miller can be reassigned to the minors.

When Infante comes off the dl, the Braves should definately get rid of Corky and keep Pena.  Pena is much more valuable than Miller off the bench or backup.

Thanks for the avatar props king. The Braves have been scouting Norton all spring and actually wanted him back in spring training, but the Mariners wouldn't budge at the time. Now they have no room for Norton and the Braves pulled the trigger. He won't be going anywhere even when Infante comes back. Corky Miller will either be reassigned or Brayan Pena will be traded.

Also heard bad news for the Bravos tonight. Soriano had to cut short his bullpen session today and will have an MRI to see what is wrong with his arm. Keep the fingers crossed and hope everything is okay with him.

Greg Norton appears to be a solid pick up and Frank Wrenn is doing a fine job. When Omar Infante returns Corky Miller will be out of here.
