Braves Sign Chris Woodward

by @ 7:12 pm. Filed under 2007 Season

The Braves inked utilityman Chris Woodward to a one year, $850k deal today.  Woodward isn’t a spectacular hitter, but he can play anywhere and he should give Bobby Cox some flexibility when it comes to the late innings.  He had a solid season in 2005 in which he hit .283 but last year he hit only .216.

I see Woodward used as a late inning defensive replacement after the Braves best pinch hitter is used.  Not a bad guy to have in the National League where a pinch hitter or two usually get into a game.
