No, Pete Orr is still in Richmond hitting .238 in his first 21 AB since being kicked to the curb by the big club.
Julio Franco, who will turn 49 on August 23, will join the Braves tomorrow. He'll be a right handed hitter off the bench - and will probably get some limited playing time at first base. At first one might think that 1B Scott Thorman will be headed to Richmond, but he's out of options and would have to be put on waivers if the Braves want to do that. I'm thinking the Bravos will send down one of their 13 pitchers to open the spot for Julio - either Jo-Jo Reyes or Jose Ascanio.
The move will be announced tomorrow before the 7:35 tip-off with the St. Louis Redbirds.
