Who did not make the cut?
The biggest names of note were Justin Wrobleski and Jack Dreyer, since the Braves tend to struggle against left-handed pitching.
Additionally, position-player-wise, Alex Call was the odd man out. The Dodgers love his ability to put together tough at-bats, but Hyeseong Kim’s positional versatility and speed won out.

One Response
They omitted Wrobleski? Yeah, better in the first half than the second, but still. Diaz? Again I guess, what have you done for me lately. But that’s not the choice I would have made.
