The Atlanta Braves scored a coup by grabbing Ender Inciarte, Dansby Swanson and Aaron Blair from Arizona for Shelby Miller and Gabe Speier after the 2015 season. Inciarte quickly established himself a the Braves center fielder and leadoff man.
Blair’s inauspicious 2016 led to a year in AAA last season. Pitchers often face these struggles, fans accept that one day a good arm will suddenly find its Mojo and will grouse but await Blair’s transformation. That doesn’t appear the case for Swanson
Swanson traveled a bumpy, frustrating road as he attempted the jump from a one-one prospect to Major League player.
