The Braves brought back lefty Jose Lugo, who pitched pretty well between Mississippi and Gwinnett, especially toward the end of the season, on a Minor League deal. The Detroit Tigers signed long time Braves farmhand Matt Young to a Minor League deal, ending his time in the organization.

Who else initially read that we’d signed Julio Lugo again and had a heart attack? Best of luck to Matt Young in the Detroit organization.

I was like “Seriously? Lugo? Again?”

Thankfully it was the wrong Lugo.

If you guys are having trouble differentiating between Jose and Julio that certainly would explain a lot of what goes on here on TC.
