MARTIN PRADO RUMORS & GOSSIP

Player Profile #113: Martin Prado | 3B/OF | ATL

He doesn’t walk and he makes a lot of contact. His name is Martin Prado and he lives and dies with his BABIP. If Prado doesn’t hit close to .300 then you’re going to be disappointed. He doesn’t have enough power or speed to contribute elsewhere without his batting average. The good news is that before 2011, Prado’s lowest BABIP was .331 when he had...

The Colorado Rockies acquired Marco Scutaro from the Boston Red Sox for a player who isn’t going to be the next Roy Halladay.

Braves Sign Martin Prado to One Year Deal

The Atlanta Braves avoided arbitration with left-fielder Martin Prado on Friday. They signed him to a deal worth somewhere between $4.5-5 million. This is actually less than what was originally expected, so it seems like the Braves may have saved some money on bringing back Prado.

Braves' Prado agrees to $4.75 million contract

Outfielder Martin Prado has avoided arbitration with the Atlanta Braves by agreeing to a $4.75 million contract for 2012. Prado, who made $3.1 million last season, is a versatile player who could be the long-term replacement at third base when Chipper Jones retires. He moved to left field in 2011 and slumped a bit, batting .260 with 13 homers and 57 RBIs. Before that, he had three...

In 2010 Prado was a rare second baseman who hit like a leftfielder, but in 2011 he was a leftfielder who hit like, well, a second baseman.

Would you trade Delmon Young for Martin Prado if you were the Tigers?

At what price does Prado come at? In a report from Mlive Contributor Ian Casselberry earlier today, he mentioned that the Detroit Tigers were interested in trading for Atlanta Braves super utility player Martin Prado to fill our 2nd base hole. At first I was very excited about the report since Prado is a great player and would defiantly help us at 2nd base and fill in at lead off...
