Braves' Jaff Decker: Inks NRI deal with Atlanta
Jaff Decker agreed to a minor-league contract with the Atlanta Braves on Thursday that includes an invite to spring training.The 27-year-old made appearances in the majors each of the past five seasons, but he hasn't impressed much in any of those stints. Decker's biggest calling card is his ability to get on base, as he holds an 11.5 percent walk rate for his career. However, his high strikeout numbers and inability to hit for average in the big leagues largely limits his value to that of a Quad-A outfielder.

Athletics' Jaff Decker: Raps out pair of hits Thursday
Jaff Decker went 2-for-2 with a run and a walk in Thursday's 8-5 win over the Twins.The 27-year-old opened the game in the starting lineup, and although he was eventually pinch hit for by Rajai Davis, he managed to snap out of a prolonged slump before exiting. After hitting safely in his first four starts, Decker had subsequently gone 2-for-27 over the subsequent eight games in which he'd logged at least one official at-bat. However, despite Thursday's production, his line remains a subpar .227/.358/.295, and now that Davis is back from the disabled list, his playing time figures to remain sporadic.
