The Atlanta Braves have made a few roster moves earlier Friday morning as they sent outfielder and future fan favorite Mallex Smith to AAA Gwinnett, while right-handed pitchers Lucas Sims and Aaron Blair, and infielders Dansby Swanson and Ozzie Albies were reassigned to minor league camp.
Now, this is certainly standard procedure for prospects during big league Spring Training camp. But, it might come as a slight surprise to some, just because of the calibre of playing some of these guys have contributed this spring. Mallex Smith and Ozzie Albies especially.
As it sits right now, Mallex Smith is easily the future center fielder for Atlanta Braves.
