MARTIN PRADO RUMORS & GOSSIP

Martin Prado comfortable in Braves lineup

Martin Prado is in the perfect place. The guy in front of him is hitting .323 and knows what to do when he reaches first. Michael Bourns 13 steals are tied for second in the NL. And the guy behind him is becoming one of the leagues top run producers. Freddie Freeman has taken over the No. 3 spot in the Braves order, and his 32 RBIs are tied for third in the league. In between...

SI.com Power Rankings: Nationals Second; Phillies Ahead of Braves

This is interesting.   The latest power rankings of MLB teams on SI.com lists the Phillies a stunning FIFTH in major league baseball.   Granted, they do not factor in the last two losses to the Washington Nationals, but if the Nationals really are that high - ranked second - , maybe it won't matter. Also surprising - the Atlanta Braves with a .619 winning percentage...

Prado still adapting to position shuffle

Martin Prado started at third base, left field, third base and left field in the Braves' first four games. He's getting better at moving back and forth from one game to the next, but he doesn't like it. And only now is he willing to admit that worrying about covering each position well defensively took a toll on his offense last season. Prado batted .182 (2 for 11) in...

September swoon continues for Braves

Its safe to say the Atlanta Braves have gotten off to a poor start. After 10 games, they are 1-9 and are hitting a .218, the worst mark among National League teams. Its like September never ended, and although spring games dont count, the Braves have won only 10 of the last 37 games theyve played, dating to Sept. 1, 2011. Lets take a look at the highlights, lowlights and trends...

Prado returns to comfort level with Braves

Martin Prado was out of place. He wasnt comfortable in the field or at the plate. And he certainly wasnt comfortable when he was on the disabled list. That pretty much sums up 2011 for Prado. It was a season of disappointment as he struggled to adjust to a new position, a new spot in the batting order and an injury that cost him more than a month of the season. He wants to leave...

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...

Trading Prado Should Require Overpay

Martin Prado was without a doubt one of the biggest disappointments for the Atlanta Braves in 2011. 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. Missing time with a Staph infection certainly didn’t help and neither did his astoundingly low .266 BABIP (compared to his .315 career average...

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...
