It\u2019s been a minute since we have had real, actual Braves baseball news to talk about. Oh sure, we\u2019ve covered the nearly interminable Braves TV partner saga. At least it looks as if we are going to have a happy ending there.<\/p>\n
Braves released their non-roster invitee list. This is the deep cut. These are prospects that are not on the 40-man roster and older players that are just on the outside of staying on an active roster. As we shared on Wednesday<\/a>:<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Non-Roster Invitees\u00a0(24)<\/p>\n Pitchers (10):\u00a0RH Garrett Baumann, RH Carlos Carrasco, RH Javy Guerra, RH Elieser Hern\u00e1ndez, RH James Karinchak, RH Owen Murphy, LH Mart\u00edn P\u00e9rez, RH Austin Pope, RH JR Ritchie, RH Tayler Scott<\/p>\n Catchers (3):\u00a0Jair Camargo, Sandy Le\u00f3n, Chadwick Tromp<\/p>\n Infielders\u00a0(7):\u00a0Tristin English, John Gil, Jim Jarvis, Alex Lodise, Aaron Schunk, Luke Waddell, Luke Williams<\/p>\n Outfielders (4):\u00a0Jos\u00e9 Az\u00f3car, Ben Gamel, Brewer Hicklen, DaShawn Keirsey Jr.<\/p>\n So who you got for your favorite NRI this spring? JR Ritchie might be the best prospect in that list, but Battery Power\u2019s #4, #9 and #12<\/a> are there too. There are guys that are trying to grab that last guy on the bench role like Luke Williams. Martin Perez and James Karinchak will be pitchers to watch. Backup catcher for Opening Day is up for grabs, and we\u2019ve got three options there. And in the \u201cthis guy here is dead<\/a>\u201d portion of the NRIs, Carlos Carrasco is hanging around.<\/p>\n I have my favorites but I\u2019ll hand the mic to y\u2019all as usual.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s been a minute since we have had real, actual Braves baseball news to talk about.
