Braves' Johan Camargo: Struggling on defense in camp
Camargo committed his fifth error of the spring in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates, AJC.com reports. "Up here (in the major leagues) it's adjusting to the speed of the game," Braves manager Brian Snitker said prior to Tuesday's game, "which is one of the reasons last year we were big on wanting to get Dansby (Swanson) up here, because they've got to see that speed of the game at this level. That's good for them. They do that and they learn from it, hopefully, because it is different."
Camargo would seem to have a lot more learning to do. The 23-year-old was added to the 40-man roster in the offseason and a big spring might have earned him consideration for a spot on the Atlanta bench -- his likely eventual role in the majors -- but instead he'll head back to the minors to begin 2017 and try to polish up his glove work.
