Atlanta Braves: Brian Snitker continues to overuse best players

One of the bigger storylines after the 2018 season was about how Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker planned to give players more rest.

Our bench was thought to be much deeper in 2019, which in turn would allow Snitker to give guys a day off hear-and-there to keep them fresh down the stretch.

But as soon as the season started it seemed like that all went out the window.

The thought was that Johan Camargo, who was the full-time third baseman in 2018, would spell players throughout the week and still get regular playing time.
