The Atlanta Braves initially acquired Emilio Bonifacio in a trade with the Cubs prior to the 2014 trade deadline, after which the switch-hitting utility man batted just .212. After spending 2015 with the White Sox, Bonifacio found himself back in the Braves’ organization in 2016. He batted just .211 in the majors last season.
Apparently his struggles in 2014 and 2016 weren’t enough to convince the Braves to rid themselves of the nuisance, as he made their Opening Day roster this season. Bonifacio currently leads the team in pinch hit at-bats, with 23. Lane Adams, currently in Gwinnett, is 2nd with 8.
