Didn’t some Braves fans want to trade for this guy a couple years back?

I know I did

He’s a great pick up. He’s a switch hitter and has blazing speed like Constanza. I’d like to see him win the 4th OF job.

There’s a man that used to dominate all Braves’ sites with his mindless drivel (always had “Coach” in his name) that pushed for this guy for years. Not necessarily sure why.

Just Beachy here. How 'bout you?

Love this

always liked this guy. Great speed, good patience, good on base skills. Would like to see him become the 4th OFer sometime during the year if not by opening day

Spring Training is the greatest thing that can't end soon enough

Great speed but not a great base stealer. Singles off the bench arent very valuable.

That’s a lie!

What's a lie? Part A or Part B? They're both truthitudes.

I like what this guy COULD be, but it remains to be seen what the Braves will get in Durango

as he has been pretty inconcsistent

Sometimes I wake up grumpy; other times I let her sleep.

I'm not sure what the fuss is here.

He’s a little slap hitter with decent patience, good speed, poor stolen base skills, and absolutely no power. These guys are a AAAA staple. We had Gregor Blanco, then Constanza, now Durango. Not much news here; these guys are always available when necessary. They are fine for a fifth OF role, but exposed when forced into more playing time. The difference between Durango and Constanza being our fifth OF is minimal to non-existant. (And fourth OF is not up for grabs, that’s Hinke/Diaz.)
