Braves Name Simmons at Shortstop Amid Pastornicky Bench
Pastornicky 22 hit 248 with one homer and 12 RBIs in 45 games with Atlanta. Simmons made the switch on June 1 after seven errors by Pastornicky led to his demotion to Gwinnett where he has five errors in 36 games. Simmons showed range and arm in his first two months, with surprising bat. Braves aim Pastornicky to expand to second base and outfield in minors, but recalls could force a shift back to shortstop with veteran Jack Wilson backing the roster.
