KISSIMMEE http://www.twinsfanproshop.com/authentic-max-kepler-jersey , Fla. (AP) — l-time catcher.After three years with the New York Yankees and two with the Houston Astros, the 35-year-old McCann was back behind the plate for the Braves on Tuesday as a platoon player.“Nothing’s changed,” McCann said. “The clocks on the wall are the exact same. It’s funny. But it’s good to be back.”McCann, who missed two months in the middle of last season after surgery on his right knee, is one of several Braves veterans whose spring training debuts have been delayed slightly by injury considerations.Shortstop Dansby Swanson and third baseman Josh Donaldson will probably play for the first time Friday.Veteran reliever Darren O’Day, who missed the second half of last season after having surgery on his right hamstring, threw a bullpen session on Monday.“We’ve got more time than we need to get him ready,” manager Brian Snitker said.Mike Soroka, a 21-year-old right-hander whose bid for a spot in the starting rotation has been set back by a tender shoulder, will probably resume throwing on Thursday.McCann caught four innings of Tuesday’s 4-3 exhibition win over a split squad of New York Mets. He went 0 for 2 and felt the normal rust of playing in a game for the first time in four months.“From Day One, calling a sign is weird. Setting up is different,” he said. “You’re retraining your body where to go, what to do. No matter how much work you put in a back field, when you get into game speed it’s another ballgame.”McCann caught all seven games for the Astros in their World Series victory 16 months ago. The veteran who has caught 1,494 major league games expects to go into the season as the left-handed part of a catching platoon with Tyler Flowers.A seven-time All-Star Joe Mauer Jersey , McCann hit .212 with seven home runs and 23 RBIs for Houston last season.“Back in the day you wouldn’t want Brian McCann platooning with anybody because you wanted him in there,” Snitker said. “The last three years we’ve gone with two guys (Flowers and A.J. Pierzyski in 2016, Flowers and Kurt Suzuki in 2017-18) and got good results. We hope to do the same thing this year. We’ve got two catchers who aren’t everyday guys at this stage of their careers. We’ve shown that we can make this thing work.”Swanson, who last played on Sept. 25 and then had surgery to repair a partially torn ligament in his left wrist, has been practicing all baseball activities including hitting, which he did in Atlanta before coming to spring training.“He feels good and it’s just a matter of getting strength back on a daily basis,” Snitker said. “But physically — legs, arms, things like that, he could play today.”Donaldson, who signed a one-year contract in November, played in just 52 games with Toronto and Cleveland last season due to a strained left calf muscle. The former second round pick was finally healthy in 2018, and now he looks to make a leap in the upper minors in 2019"The following year was the chance for the shortstop prospect to start making his mark in the organization, but this was when he never got a chance to get going. Chatham played in only seven games over the entire 2017 season due to a severe hamstring injury. This was obviously a tough break, and it made the 2018 season a huge one. He was entering his age-23 season and yet to play a full season of professional ball. It was tough to know what to expect heading into the season Glen Perkins Jersey , but he was solid. The shortstop showed off the hit tool that carried his draft stock, but the power from his professional debut. Part of that, however, was hitting in Salem, which can be tough on power. Between Greenville and Salem, with 83 percent of the games coming in High-A, Chatham hit .314/.350/.389 in 472 plate appearances. It wasn’t a breakout performance, but it was enough to keep him on the radar.Heading into his age-24 season, the scouting reports remain largely the same as they did in the summer of 2016. Despite standing at 6’4”, much taller than your typical shortstop, Chatham is still smooth out there and is projected to stick at that position long-term. While shortstop is much deeper and more talented than it was even a few years ago, there is still less pressure on the bat if you can stick at short than if you have to move to another position. That’s good news for Chatham, though he showed that he does have an average hit tool, albeit one that’s dragged down a bit by not drawing a ton of walks. The power is going to be what to watch for in 2019 as he moves to more friendly parks, but he’s probably not going to get too many more than ten homers per year at his peak if everything works out. All in all http://www.twinsfanproshop.com/authentic-max-kepler-jersey , it’s a solid profile though not one you keep a spot open for.The Red Sox bullpen has late-inning talent, but needs a little moreTroy Taormina-USA TODAY SportsChatham is all but certain to head to Portland this season, forming an intriguing left side of the infield with fellow 2016 draftee Bobby Dalbec. This is a big year for Chatham, who is at the age where the Red Sox will have no problems pushing him if he plays well enough. Boston isn’t exactly starving for infield depth, but they wouldn’t mind having more coming up and being ready to contribute in 2020 or perhaps even late 2019, though that may be pushing it.
