Prado May Make A Distinction For The Braves

No a single player makes a crew, but Martin Prado’s recent hand injury may perhaps have a significant effect as the Atlanta Braves progress toward the National League East division title.  His harm happened Friday night in Cincinnati throughout the 10th inning of a 6-4 win over the Cincinnati Reds.  His disabled list status will last until August 16.

Prado stated that his finger got stuck in a smaller hole in the dirt beside the house plate when he dove head 1st.   Although the X-rays were inconclusive, the tests on Saturday found the modest fracture, and it was decided it would not require surgery.  A “stable avulsion fracture”, when some tendon separates from the bone, is painful, “I felt it” Prado said.  “It was not regular pain.”

To his credit, his damage was not for nothing, his dive scored in Jason Heyward’s two run double.    He has had a excellent season and was batting .315 with 13 residence runs and 43 RBI, and leading the crew with 138 hits and 75 runs scored.  It will nonetheless hamper his ability to have a 200 hit season, having already reached 100 hits inside the second fewest games in Braves history, in his 69th game.  The current record for the Braves is held by Ralph Garr, who got his 100 hits in 62 matches back in 1974.

He has other impressive statistics, like the fact that he currently leads inside National League with 138 hits and is ranking 3rd in batting with a solid .315 average and he’s also leading the majors with 44 multi hit video games.  He has a career high  of 13 homers.  Perhaps though he’s most celebrated for standing a bat on end  in 2007 after  hitting, dropping the bat and running for 1st base, towards the amazement of attending fans.

Diory Hernandez was known as up from Triple-A Gwinnett as an active infielder to fill the missing role.  Hernandez will probably be a spot starter and a pinch hitter more than the next two weeks as the crew uses All Star Omar Infante because the everyday infielder.  Omar is really a flexible player who has also started as shortstop, outfielder and third base this season for Atlanta.

Hernandez is also a suitable replacement, he was batting .319 as he played briefly with the parent club a single year ago.  He also had a 17 RBI in 30 matches for Gwinnett prior to acquiring the call towards the majors.  Regrettably, he recently struck out against Met’s starter Johan Santana whilst pinch hitting inside sixth inning.

The injuries has disappointed Prado, who mentioned “The most crucial matches are coming up and I want to be a part of it.”  Braves manager Bobby Cox is optimistic but concerned saying “If he [Prado] was only going to be out a couple of days, we could wait, but I don’t believe it would be great if he’s going to become out for like 10 days.”  Braves fans feel the same way, and his injury was discussed on many on the net sports sites.
