Breathtaking story ...
I'm reading mostly at work, as I'm going through a boring and stressy period. So your story is a great distraction ... Yesterday I burst out laughing loudly when I read the "error man from Atlanta" episode. What happened to him? 
Keep it up and don't trade Mumbles. Arce should stay too, because his comments are the best |
Thank you for the kind words.
Navarro was designated for assignment and placed on waivers back on June 26.
After clearing waivers he was demoted to Atlanta's AA affiliate Mississippi Braves. I guess after 54 errors in 74 games the Braves finally got the picture that he wasn't really cut out for the majors. I was waiting to see if he would get recalled before I commented on him again but who knows what the organization will do!
His MLB stats were: 49 hits in 249 at-bats (.197 batting), 1 home run, 22 RBI, 25 runs scored, 42 walks, 25 strikeouts, .311 OBP, .241 SLG, 54 errors in 193 chances for a .720 fielding percentage.
Since going down to AA he's only played in 9 games in a month and a half: 6 at catcher, 1 at first base, and 2 at third base. His only error at AA has come while behind the plate. He's hitting .268 at AA in his limited at-bats (0 homers). It will be interesting to see what Atlanta does with him as he is making $680k this season and next season.
