The two pitching prospects Atlanta acquired from the New York Yankees today in the Javier Vazquez deal won’t have a direct impact on the 2010 Mississippi Braves’ roster. Left-hander Mike Dunn reached the majors last summer for the Yankees; he figures to be a Triple-A Gwinnett player in the Braves’ system. Arodys Vizcaino, a 19-year-old Dominican, will be entering just his third year of pro ball, having spent 2009 at the short-season A level. He’s at least a couple years away from Pearl. But he does have the potential to get here. Note his 100 strikeouts in 86 1/3 pro innings. … The Braves recently released a couple of players who have spent some time with the M-Braves, including outfielder Jon Mark Owings. That was a bit of a surprise. He looked to be a good candidate for the M-Braves’ opening day lineup. Infielder Chad Lundahl might have been here next season, too, but didn’t figure to be a regular.
