Rodrigo Lopez Signs with Braves

Rodrigo Lopez chose the Braves out of three possible destinations. The New York Mets and Colorado Rockies were the other two choices. I can't blame him for choosing the Braves, but he would of had a better chance of joining the Mets or Rockies rotation in the future.

It's a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. With the abundance of young pitchers in the organization already...why waste money or time on a below average pitcher?

Aparantly this is the 2nd time the guy has signed with the organization as well. He signed in 2008 after Tommy John surgery only to be released shortly later.

If it's for more pitching depth, it seems to be okay. I do not expect him to be involved in any future plans with the big club.

Anyways, here's an article from the Braves official site.
