Cool Braves: Both Penas get sent down

Braves send down two Penas

The Braves optioned catcher Brayan Pena and shortstop Tony Pena , Jr. to AAA Richmond before today's game. Brayan Pena hit .333 this spring in eight games. He battled shoulder soreness the last few weeks.

And Tony Pena, Jr. had one of his best springs in an Atlanta uniform. He only hit .255, but coaches believe he has improved offensively.

Both players are worth monitoring. Brayan Pena is the Cuban born playerwho has hit over .300 in his two minor league season...and should develop a little more pop. Tony is the son of former major leaguer Tony Pena.

Re: Braves: Both Penas get sent down

I'm really surprised Brayan's being sent down. I thought for sure he had made the Braves this spring, given his performance. Tony Jr.'s not so much of a surprise - seem like he still needs a little more time to develop, but ultimately I think he'll be a good one too.

Probably more a question of getting him more at bats...

Re: Braves: Both Penas get sent down

I guess they really like McCann (sp?) down their. The Pena with power looks like he'll be a pretty decent hitter soon. Perhaps his shoulder is hurting more than just a bit of soreness.

Yeah, that could be it. Got a feeling he'll be in the bigs before the season's over, though. He's got skills.
