| Braves option Christian Bethancourt to Double-A |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(3/25/13) The Braves have optioned catcher Christian Bethancourt to Double-A.
The 21-year-old hit .243/.275/.291 in 288 plate appearances at Double-A last season. Catchers Evan Gattis and Gerald Laird will likely begin the year on the 25-man roster until Brian McCann is ready to return.

| Bethancourt ready after setback |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(2/4/13) MLB.com reports Braves catcher prospect Christian Bethancourt, who was limited to half a season at Double-A Mississippi in 2012 because of a fractured left hand, could be in line to make the major-league roster in 2014. "I think if he would have been able to complete the full season there, I think it would've made a world of difference for him," Braves assistant general manager and director of player development Bruce Manno said of Bethancourt. "He's fine [health-wise], he went and played winter ball in the Dominican and was able to kind of make up some at-bats, so that helped quite a bit with the time he missed. He's a player who we really, we really like his defensive ability, and offensively we think he's going to continue to improve. We have to see where he is in his development in the spring before we decide what's going to happen to him [level-wise], because we just don't know without the full sample of a season last year."

| Though long regarded as a top prospect, Christian Bethancourt's bat hasn't progressed over his five seasons in the minors. If anything, it's gone backward. The .566 OPS he compiled over 268 at-bats at Double-A Mississippi was the lowest of his minor-league career. The performance was especially discouraging because he had such a strong showing in the Arizona Fall League just a few months earlier. So why is he a prospect at all? Potential, of course. Not only does he profile as a plus defender with a strong throwing arm, but many scouts maintain that he will, at some point, hit. He has plenty of raw power. He just needs to refine his approach. While Bethancourt has been around for so long that you might be tempted to write him off, keep in mind he's still only 21. Regardless of the progress he makes in the minors this year, he may have to continue his development in the majors next year, with Brian McCann potentially departing via free agency. Shoot, he may even get a look early in 2013, depending on how long McCann takes to recover from offseason shoulder surgery. Bethancourt isn't the most enticing catcher prospect in Fantasy, but you shouldn't forget about him in long-term keeper leagues. (Updated 1/8/13) |
