So Long, Brayan Pena

Yesterday, the Braves activated catcher Brayan Pena from the need-room-for-pitchers 15-day disabled list and promptly designated him for assignment, meaning the end of Pena’s career in any sort of Braves jersey. I’ve got to say that this absolutely blows my mind. Not because I think Brayan Pena is so great, but because Corky Miller is so bad. Obviously, with Brian McCann cockblocking the starting catcher’s job for years to come, there’s little room for up-and-comers to find anything but a backup backstop job.

But, I just don’t understand what Bobby Cox sees in Corky Miller. Is it his 0.087 batting average? His four-A resume?

Or is it because Corky Miller is a dead-ringer for Seinfeld’s David Puddy?

As usual, nice perspective on a hot topic. You know I thought Corky looked familiar, and I knew it wasn’t from all the times I’ve seen him behind home plate…
At least we know he’s there for the team when McCann is taken out of the game for “heat symptoms”.

And yes, Patrick Warburton looks an awful lot like Corky.

Go DEVILS!!!
