Down on the Farm

After two months hovering around the Mendoza line, the Braves have decided to send rookie Jordan Schafer down to Triple-A Gwinnett. Schafer began his career with a bang, literally, hitting a homerun in his first at bat, but he quickly dropped off at the plate and with his 63 strike outs, the Braves think it is better for him to go back down and find his swing.

I think this is a good idea. He has been struggling for too long and at only 22 years old, you don’t want to destroy his confidence.

Atlanta has recalled Gregor Blanco to take his roster spot.
