Mark Bowman reports that the Braves have agreed to terms with outfielder Joe Borchard. Borchard played with the Marlins last year, and did ok. Here’s what The Braves official website had to say:
Borchard, who signed with the Braves as a six-year Minor League free agent earlier this week, hit .196 in 85 games with the Marlins this year. Because every other team had a previous chance to sign him without the necessity of paying $50,000 and keeping him on their 25-man roster throughout the entire season, the probability of him being selected is minimal.
Not really a big splash. Some view him as the next Willie Harris. I don’t see what this move does for us, other than provide depth.
