AJC.com is reporting that Javy Lopez has retired. He told the Braves about two hours after he was told he would optioned to Richmond. At least he retired as a Brave. It is a 3 man race for the back up job to Mac, Miller, Pena and Sammons. Sammons, can hit and is the best defensively out of the 3. Pena is so-so offensively and defensively. Miller isn't good offensively and it alright defensively. If I am going with anyone, I would have to lean towards Sammons. Big target behind the plate.

Sad to see Javy go out this way, but at least he went out in a Braves uni.

I would really like to see Sammons get the back up job. He is great behind the plate and is still learning as a hitter. We should be able to at least get something in trade value for Pena since he is a switch hitting catcher that is a good hitter.

Sammons had a .630 OPS in AA last year

I don't think he's ready quite yet

its going to be pena...hes out of options at the end of camp and the braves arent going to let him walk away. at one point in his career he was considered to be the braves' catcher of the future, ahead of mccann

If we do not trade pena I am going to have to agree with Murph on this, pena will be backup.
