Braves Acquire Stefan Gartrell

By Zachary Links | April 16, 2011 at 1:13pm CDT

The Braves have acquired Triple-A outfielder Stefan Gartrell from the White Sox for cash considerations, according to Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus (via Twitter).  The 27-year-old has been with the White Sox since 2006, when he was taken in the 31st round of the amateur draft.

In 177 career Triple-A games, Gartrell owns a .258/.318/.460 slashline with 32 homers.

    Why is it any time a move like this is made there are a million comments like ^ here? It seems everyone is looking for a cute comment and trying to be funny, but, it’s been said like a million times already.

      Why is it that people choose to complain about those comments? Who knows?

        I wasn’t really complaining. Just stating an observation.

    True fact: The name of the man who Johnny Cash shot in Reno (just to watch him die) was named Stefan Gartrell. No relation.

    He’ll hit a lot of homeruns but don’t expect a whole lot else. A serviceable 4th outfielder/spot starter.

    You know, I had to do a double take reading the title because I thought it said at first glance “Braves Acquire Stefan Urquell”. Kinda funny & ironic that he got traded from Chicago.
