The Braves traded Josh Anderson to Detriot for Rudy Darrow. This opens the door for Schafer who is raking the ball this spring hitting .386 in 57 ABs. He also has shown some good speed with 5 SBs in the spring. He was suspended for 50 games last season for PEDs and went into a massive slump after he returned which dipped him under the Heyward shadow even further. His defense is excellent and that should make him the CF in Atlanta for a long time.
Other Moves:
As everyone knows, Wieters and Price were sent down to AAA and I don't understand why pundits/fans are upset with their respective clubs. Both of these teams play in the AL East where they print $$ and if they can delay ARB years on the 2 best prospects and save some cash they absouletly should send them down. I would also love for GMs tp be honest and stop saying that they need "seasoning" in AAA. If Price needed "seasoning" why in the hell was he closing out game 7 of the ALCS against Boston. This was the same issue with Longoria last season and you can see the "Super 2" rules here
Chris Perez was optioned to AAA which makes Motte the likely closer for St. Louis
Andrew McCutchen was Optioned to AAA after going 5-5 against the Phils
