With the holiday’s just around the corner, pitchers and catchers reporting just under two months from today (February 14) and meaningful games under four months away (April 3), the Atlanta Braves have a lot of decisions to still make. One of which is what to do with Mallex Smith.
Rumblings of what to do with Smith have been going on for a little while now. Since the Braves didn’t make moves this offseason with any of their outfielders — they have Ender Inciarte, Matt Kemp and Nick Markakis slotted into all three spots — playing time in Atlanta will be tough to come by for Smith.
