Newsbreakers

October 22, 2009

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Martin Prado will play second base for the Braves next season.

Our View:

Prado unseated Kelly Johnson at second base in 2009 and his .822 OPS ranked fifth among all second baseman. He should possess multi-position eligibility next season, making him a possible top 10 option at the position.

September 25, 2009

Martin Prado helped lead the Braves in tonight's 5-0 win at Washington, as he went 2-for-5 with a double and a solo homer off Saul Rivera.

Our View:

Prado is riding an eight-game hitting streak, with two homers over the span. He is batting .301 in September.

September 23, 2009

Martin Prado has been removed from the Braves lineup on Wednesday after getting hit in the knee by a "liner" in batting practice, according to MLB.com's Mark Bowman.

Our View:

Kelly Johnson is starting in his place at second base.

August 30, 2009

Martin Prado led the Braves offensively on Sunday with a 3-for-4 effort. He hit his ninth homer in the first inning, but the Phillies emerged with a 3-2 win.

Our View:

Prado has put together a five-game hitting streak, since suffering through a cold patch mid month, and now has his average up to .308 on the season. He has eight hits during the streak.

August 21, 2009

The Associated Press reports that Martin Prado is not in Friday's lineup against the Marlins.

Our View:

Prado is expected to miss the entire series against the Fish after being diagnosed with exertional headaches. He will meet with a neurosurgeon on Monday in Atlanta.

August 20, 2009

MLB.com reports that Martin Prado visited a neurosurgeon and has been diagnosed with "exertional headaches" and is being put on anti-inflammatory medication.

Our View:

It looks as if Prado won't land on the disabled list, but he will not rejoin the team in New York. His best case scenario would be getting back in the lineup on Saturday. At least the Braves found out what was wrong with him and they're no longer calling it heat-related issues. Adam LaRoche will continue to man first base until Prado returns.

August 19, 2009

MLB.com is reporting that Braves' infielder Martin Prado is still uncertain what has been causing his headaches. Prado hopes to get a diagnosis on Thursday.

Our View:

Prado is not playing tonight, and he should know more about his condition tomorrow after meeting with doctors. This is a bit concerning, but we will keep you updated when his status is released.

August 18, 2009

Martin Prado was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mets after his first at-bat.

Our View:

Prado looks to still be suffering from heat-related issues that have been plaguing him since Saturday. He was replaced at first base by Adam LaRoche.

August 16, 2009

Martin Prado entered Sunday's game as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and drew a walk.

Our View:

Prado was scratched from the game with heat-related issues, but must be feeling better at least to some extent. He did not remain in the game as a defender after the pinch hit.

August 16, 2009

According to Mark Bowman on Twitter, Martin Prado was scratched from Sunday's game due to heat-related issues.

Our View:

The Braves are playing it safe with Prado, who left Saturday's game with dizziness. He likely just needs a couple days off. Omar Infante gets the start in his place.

August 9, 2009

Martin Prado performed well in Sunday's 8-2 win at Los Angeles, as he went 2-for-5 with two singles and three RBI.

Our View:

Prado is hitting .317 over 41 at-bats this month, with five multi-hit games.

August 5, 2009

Martin Prado was the offensive leader for the Braves on Tuesday night as Atlanta defeated the Padres 9-2. Prado went 3-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored, and three RBI in the win.

Our View:

Prado continues to hit everything in sight, and he is turning into a very good fantasy second baseman. If he is still available in your league, it would be wise to jump on him now before someone else does.

August 2, 2009

Martin Prado provided all the Braves offense on Sunday as he went 2-for-4 with an RBI in their 9-1 loss to the Dodgers

Our View:

Prado started August the same way he finished June and July. On a tear. Since being named the starter at second he's been a pleasant fantasy surprise at a thin position. He hit .359 in June, .327 in July and is currently at .375 in August.

August 1, 2009

Martin Prado (ankle) is back in the lineup and batting second on Saturday.

Our View:

The second baseman missed two starts, but he has now pushed Kelly Johnson back to the bench. Feel free to use Prado in fantasy leagues.

August 1, 2009

Infielder Martin Prado (ankle) remained out on Friday, but he took batting practice and was available to pinch-hit, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. He could be back on Saturday.

Our View:

With a lefty (Randy Wolf) on the hill for the Dodgers, the Braves would love to have Prado back at second on Saturday. We won't be surprised if he starts, even though he will be less than 100 percent.

July 30, 2009

Martin Prado was out of the Braves' lineup on Thusday after being hit with a line drive during batting practice, according to MLB.com. Prado is listed as day-to-day with a bruised left ankle.

Our View:

The injury isn't expected to be serious, as Prado will not undergo any X-rays, but he could miss some time. We will keepyou updated on his status going forward.

July 21, 2009

Martin Prado went 3-for-5 on Tuesday night, raising his average to .324, as the Braves crushed the Giants 8-1 at home.

Our View:

Prado has been on absolute tear since mid-June, and should be considered in any format if you need a third baseman.

July 12, 2009

Martin Prado continued his hot hitting on Sunday with a 2-for-4 performance in the Braves' 8-7 loss to the Rockies. He also walked, scored a run and drove in a run.

Our View:

Prado is not a power threat (four homers), but he is hitting .330 on the season and has been raking in July at a .412 clip. He's earned the starting job at second base as a result of his hot hitting since June.

July 1, 2009

Martin Prado stayed hot on Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with three runs and two RBIs as the Braves dispatched the Phillies with extreme prejudice, 11-1.

Our View:

Braves manager Bobby Cox recently said Prado will be the team's starting second baseman for the foreseeable future, and he has earned it, raising his batting average 61 points since June 1.

June 30, 2009

Martin Prado went 4-for-4 with four RBI and a run scored in tonight's 5-4 win over the Phillies at Turner Field. He hit two singles, a double and a solo homer off Joe Blanton.

Our View:

Prado raised his season batting average to .299. He needed a solid outing as he was hitless over his previous two games.

April 19, 2009

Martin Prado was 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, and three runs scored in Sunday's 11-1 win over the Pirates. He started at second base in place of Kelly Johnson who served as a pinch-hitter later in the game.

Our View:

Prado has swung a good bat to start the season and Bbby Cox may continue to squeeze him into the lineup more often. However, without an everyday job, he is not worth fantasy consideration.

March 22, 2009

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the Braves are looking to expend some of their pitching surplus, but the team could also deal backup second baseman Martin Prado.

Our View:

Prado is currently the backup to Kelly Johnson, but the Braves could package him with a pitcher or two to acquire a third baseman to succeed Chipper Jones.
