Atlanta Braves 2B Omar Infante 4 hits in 9 ab’s vs Houston this weekend.

Our instinct:  Infante continues to take away ab’s from Kelly Johnson.  He’s hitting .367 on the season, with no stolen bases or home runs.  It’s probably for the best to stay away from him and Johnson until this resolves itself.

Atlanta Braves SS Yunel Escobar went 4 for 10 with a couple doubles vs the Astros this weekend.

Our instinct:  Escobar has just 6 extra base hits and no stolen bases in 83 ab’s on the season.  He has to hit better than .289 to be a useful 2B without any of the extras.

Atlanta Braves SP Jo-Jo Reyes looked his usual self on Sunday, giving up 4 runs in 5 innings while walking 3 and striking out 3.

Our instinct:  Thats about what you can expect from Reyes.  Last weeks 7 inning, 7 k, 1 walk outing vs the Cardinals is pretty out of the ordinary for Reyes.  He’s got a 5.00 era, so if you roll him out there you should know what to expect 99% of the time.
