Conner Capel to the Braves on a minor league deal…depth move or something more? Atlanta’s outfield situation is intriguing, especially with Acuna’s recovery timeline. Is Capel someone who could surprise and make the Opening Day roster? Could he even become a key contributor? Or is this simply a move to fill out the Triple-A squad? What other moves should the Braves make to solidify their outfield? Their fans must be clamoring for a big splash.
This signing also highlights the volatility of baseball careers. One moment, Capel is hitting .371 with the A’s, the next he’s bouncing between organizations and minor league deals. What does a player like Capel need to do to find consistency and establish himself in the majors? Is it simply a matter of opportunity, or are there underlying issues that prevent him from reaching his full potential?
Looking at the bigger picture, how much weight should teams place on short bursts of success like Capel’s hot streak in 2022? Does it warrant an extended look, or can it be misleading? What’s the balance between potential and proven production? I predict we’ll see more of these types of signings as teams try to find hidden gems and exploit market inefficiencies.
