Phone calls seem to be stacked up at Coppy’s new office in SunTrust Park as the Atlanta Braves continue to be linked to infielders – a lot of infielders. Or are they?

The other day, we saw word that the Atlanta Braves were at least paying attention to the Brian Dozier sweepstakes.

On the same day we also heard that the Braves may have actually had a trade agreement in place for Brandon Phillips… until BP used his veto pen to nix that deal.

Such news raised the thought that perhaps John Coppolella was engaging in a consistent quest to boost the Braves… at any position.

It appears that this is indeed the case with even more news about additional interesting inquires on infielders, though perhaps not as juicy-sounding as those from last week… especially once you dig under the surface.

Let’s take a look.
