Atlanta Braves 40-man Roster Casualties

Yesterday concluded the 3-part piece concerning the Atlanta Braves…

…pre-Spring Training Roster Predictions.  Click on the links below to review:

Part 1: Roster Predictions should Braves continue to Rebuild

Part 2: Roster Predictions should Braves try to Compete

Part 3: Roster Predictions, My Personal Picks

In reviewing many pieces in the above articles, you’ll see, in at least 1 of the 3, the following names mentioned:  Eric Young Jr, Michael Kohn, Wandy Rodriguez, Eric Stults, Jose Veras, Kelly Johnson, Cedric Hunter.

Now what do these have in common? I’m glad you asked.  These are the 7 players not listed on the Braves 40-man roster that have a good chance of making the Opening Day roster (for a full list, click here).  If they do, then someone else has to come off of the 40-man roster.  So, what does it mean to be on the 40-man roster? Let’s take a look, shall we?
