    The Braves’ late pickup of Pablo Sandoval came as a surprise to many, but the organization clearly sees something in the former Giants star. Despite a dismal .214/.287/.262 slash on the year, including four hitless plate appearances with Atlanta (two walks), the Panda makes the Wild Card roster as a bench piece.

    IDK. Maybe they think Pablo has some sort of uncanny ability to hit in the postseason? Maybe just a "glue guy" who has WS experience?

    Maybe they had problems securing the bench to the floor?

    I would hope that the Braves' FO is smart enough to realize that some sort of uncanny ability to hit in the postseason, aka clutch, doesn't exist.

    I have no idea who else they have that they could have used as a bench piece instead. Maybe Pablo's the best option.
