oh the pain

So … Atlanta put Jason Heyward on the disabled list today with a shoulder problem. One has to begin to wonder, is the supremely talented 21-year-old outfielder — who is hitting .214, by the way — going to be one of those guys who is constantly hurt? Braves fans surely hope not, but the concern must be there. It’s been one pain after another, going back a while. Mississippi Braves fans might recall that Heyward missed time with an injury when he was in Pearl in 2009. With Nate McLouth also going on the DL, the Braves recalled former M-Brave Jordan Schafer, who was batting all of .256 at Triple-A Gwinnett. Interested to see what he does back in The Show. And another former JADAP, ex-Jackson Generals shortstop Julio Lugo, has signed a minor league deal with Atlanta. Lugo, 35, is a .270 career hitter and can play just about anywhere. If he’s got anything left, he’ll be on Atlanta’s bench before too long.
