Shortstop Alex Gonzalez, outfielder Rick Ankiel and righty reliever Kyle Farnsworth are new to the Braves but they aren’t helping them much as of yet. Gonzalez has played in 30 games for the Braves so far and he is 26 of 108 (.241 avg, .719 OPS) with 14 runs scored, 3 homers and 14 RBIs. Rick Ankiel has played in 15 games for the Braves and he is 9 of 47 (.191 avg, .543 OPS) with 7 runs, 0 homers and 3 RBIs. Ankiel has already whiffed 19 times in only 47 ABs for the Braves. Kyle Farnsworth is also pitching below par since coming to the Braves. He has pitched in 6 games (0 starts) for the Braves and he is 0-1 with a 9.64 ERA and a 1.93 WHIP. There is still plenty of time for Gonzalez, Ankiel and Farnsworth to turn things around.
