ATLANTA -- Braves manager Brian Snitker spent the past two seasons watching Chase d'Arnaud play in Triple-A against his Gwinnett Braves, and the skipper walked away each time aware of his potential.
So when Atlanta signed d'Arnaud to a Minor League deal this past offseason, Snitker knew what type of player the organization was getting.
"I saw a kid with a lot of skills," said Snitker after Thursday's 6-0 loss to the Giants at Turner Field. "Skills play here. He can run, he swings the bat a little bit, he's versatile, he's got enough arm strength and he's a very athletic guy.
