I’ll trade you my garbage for your refuse. Deal!

Played center field in his rookie season, moved in to shortstop the following year – question marks on his defense at short got to his head. That’s my opinion as a Twins fan; shame to see him go, I like him despite the struggles. He’s a useful player on the bench!

Strong rookie campaign from Santana. Don’t know what happened after that

A new uniform is all you need

Tell that to Dontrelle Willis

I haven’t heard that name in a bit

Why you gotta bring the D-Train down like that!

His BABIP that year was .405. He was always going to come back down to earth. His MLB career numbers and MiLB career numbers are nearly identical now. He is what he is. Was never going to be good.

Precursor to Swanson getting sent down?
TalonBfromTn
Nah, just getting the bench bat they’ve needed. Lots of moves today’s from the FO.

Must not being going good if u need danny santana for his bat
chesteraarthur
This is the bench bat they needed? Oh you are hoping for a higher draft pick, gotcha.

I think Swanson needs to be sent down, but what the hell do I know?
TalonBfromTn
Meh, it’s more a ‘warm body’ situation. Every time we sign a utility player or bring one up, he gets injured. Jace Peterson is playing every night, because he’s subbing in a different position every night.

They’re just cruising until the guys down in A and AA are ready for the bigs in a few years.

Swanson has looked awful at the plate. His batted ball stats are all going in the wrong direction. He’s always had a kind of ugly swing, but maybe going down to AAA and working on it and pitch recognition would do him some good.
breckdog
Swanson also has an abysmal babip. Seems like when he squares one up its right at someone, not enough power to hit it over an outfielders head and right at infielders. The border line strike calls at the plate are all going against him as well and he is constantly behind in the count. He is not making adjustments as well, opposing pitchers know he has a hard time with breaking balls away and they are also getting anything close called a strike.
If his babip stabilizes and he adjusts to being pitched away he can be an asset at the plate, its a long season and the only way to know if he can make those adjustments is to let him play.
joe 44
Can’t hit and plays 6 positions all very poorly.
biasisrelitive
who knows Bullpen depth can’t be worse than this guy
realgone2
Add him to the J.O.B. squad

What does everyone want? What does everyone need?
Should Have Acquired Dylan Cease
This Braves team just gets more pathetic by the day. Lets option Adams but keep Emilio. They seriously trying their best to lose 100 games this season which might happen.
southi
Yeah, very confusing that they’ve had two chances to get rid of Bonafacio and each time he survived despite what looks like the better player getting the axe both times.
ReverieDays
Gotta compete with that boring new stadium! oh wait…
Should Have Acquired Dylan Cease
Boring! Is that what you are worried about? or you just another bitter fan who is still upset they moved? If you want to worry about their stadium, the main focus should be to figure out why the ball is flying out of the park…other than their garbage pitching!
ReverieDays
I’m not a bitter fan, and I couldn’t care less about the Braves. They stink. And they built a stadium that’s as bland and boring as their team is.
Zach725
And you care why? Braves don’t care what you think, that “boring stadium” is still selling tickets.
chesteraarthur
Losing 100 games might be the best thing for them. Despite what some braves commentors here incessantly chirped, they aren’t a team that is realistically ready to compete. Get another strong draft to go with their previous ones and their good IFA period.
Should Have Acquired Dylan Cease
They were never ready to compete and expecting them to compete in the next 2 years after is unlikely given their ownership. For now, Braves fans can only celebrate their farm system which won’t surprise me if it failed.

Swanson has been a fantasy bust. I hope it doesn’t ruin his baseball card$$$$$
Dookie Howser, MD
I’ll let you in on a secret: Nobody’s baseball card post 1960 is worth anything
falconsball1993
Post 1985 actually.
vacommish
They released Howard who they’d hoped would’ve filled s much needed bench spot. I would’ve rather added Szczur.
