He batted tonight vs. the Cards and struck out.

He's 1 for 12 since joining the Braves and his average is down to .177 for the year.  Booby is giving him regular playing time; he needs to start hitting to keep the dream alive!

Julio will turn it around, besides he's already signed for the entire season right?

That just means he gets paid all year, since major league contracts are guaranteed.  His roster spot isn't guaranteed, though - the Braves can still release him if they want to.

Looks like the Braves let go of Julio after they made their trade deadline deals.
