(3/26/2013) Braves prospect Evan Gattis and Matt Pagnozzi are vying for the final spot on the roster, MLB.com reports.
"Everybody on the team is pretty much set," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Now the battle is, 'Who do you take behind the plate to complement [Gerald] Laird?'"
Gattis, who is the team's No. 16 prospect according to MLB.com, may have the upper hand. He is batting .358 (19 for 53) with five doubles and five home runs in 22 games this spring. Pagnozzi is hitting .310 (9 for 29) with no homers and five RBI in 14 Grapefruit League games.
