How Atlanta Braves players stack up in the NL East: Third base

A position that once upon a time wouldn’t have even required a seasonal ranking such as this, as the Atlanta Braves paced the NL East at the third base position for so many years. Chipper Jones provided the Braves with consistent All Star-play at the hot corner, and quite frankly, performed in a league of his own.

For the last several years, the Braves have found themselves searching for a player to fill that void, employing players of all kinds; but only succeeding in finding merely placeholders that never really stick.

Even just last season, the Atlanta Braves run 4 different players out to 3rd: Johan Camargo (the one that kinda stuck), Rio Ruiz, Jose Bautista, Charlie Culberson, and Ryan Flaherty.
