Braves' Player Recap: J.C. Boscan

Today continues the Braves' player recap and next up is catcher J.C. Boscan.
After years of playing in the minor leagues, Boscan first got called up to the Braves in 2010. Since then, he has only appeared in eleven games for the Braves, including six this year. He is usually called up from the minors when starter Brian McCann or backup David Ross suffer an injury, he is basically the Braves' emergency catcher.
Boscan didn't have much success with the Braves again this year. In his six games, he went hit less in four of them. He only had two hits all year. One of them factored into his highlight of the year though, his first major league RBI. He got that in a losing effort to the Washington Nationals on May 26th. He added another RBI on the last day of the season against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He finised the year batting .200 with no home runs and two RBI's.
If Boscan stays with the Braves, it will once again be in Triple-A Gwinnett, where he will only be called up as an emergency catcher if injuries occur. He just doesn't possess enough of the skills to be an everyday catcher at the major league level or even a reliable backup. Class act ball player though, as he plays for the love of the game.
