Braves Sign Pena

In an unusual move, the Atlanta Braves announced the signing of shortstop Ramiro Pena to a one-year deal. The contract is Major League guaranteed.
This move will seem pointless to most Braves' fans, and it is since the Braves already have three shortstops ready to play at the Major League level. They plan on having Pena as the main backup to starting shortstop Andrelton Simmons. The futures for Tyler Pastornicky and Paul Janish appear cloudy. They either will be traded or play in the Minor Leagues, which would probably be very disappointing for them.
Pena has spent parts of the past four seasons with the New York Yankees, but since the Yankees have Derek Jeter, he never played much. Last year, he appeared in only three games and had one hit in four at-bats. For his career he has a .233 batting average with only two home runs and 32 RBI's in 180 career games. He is mostly known for his defensive skills as a shortstop. He can also play third base and second base.
