Braves, Eric Young Jr. Agree To Minor League Deal – MLB Trade Rumors

It like this move. Young is a speedster and can backup 2nd if need be. He struggled at the plate last year but normally you can count on him hitting close to .250 and having at least a .300 OBP. I could still see us dealing him by the trade deadline if Zoilo Almonte or any of our triple A guys are ready for the show.

I'm sure this will be the move that catapults us to the top of the NL East.

I doubt we'll compete for the division until we find a viable replacement for BJ.

Decent pickup.

While I was a bit sarcastic in my first response, I will say that EYJ would be an upgrade over BJ. Better defense, great speed and he's good for an infield hit every now and then and that infield hit is nearly an automatic double with his base stealing.
