Martin Prado gets his first start tonight. The Braves (and really Bobby Cox) is high on this kid. They say he can play all infield positions and is very good defensively. But don't start thinking Jesse Garcia, no this kid can hit. He's hit around .290 in the minors, and was hitting well at AA when we called him up.
He's not Yunel Escobar or Elvis Andrus , but he could develope into a very solid mjor leauger. He's between 5''11 and 6''1 at 170 lbs. Which means he's pretty light and has pretty good range. He has okay power. He's 22, which is 2 years younger than Pena, and he can hit much better than Pena.
Welcome to the bigs Martin Prado!!! Good Luck on having a great 1st game!!!Last edited by Go Bravos!!!#1; 04-23-2006, 08:28 PM.Simply... TAKING BACK THE EAST IN 2007

Chris has given up a hit to Ryan Zimmerman and has now struck out Jose Guillen.

Braves are now only 3.0 games out of 1st since the Mets lost. We get our record back up to .500 at 9-9 and Remlinger gets his first save. When they brought in Reitsma in the 8th I thought it was a silent way of moving him into the middle relief role. And then they were moving Villarreal into the closer's role. But I guess that isn't the case.
I've said it before I'll say it again, Reitsma cannot close effectively.Last edited by Go Bravos!!!#1; 04-23-2006, 09:43 PM.Simply... TAKING BACK THE EAST IN 2007
