The Atlanta Braves have claimed reliever Chris Resop from the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Resop was the reliever the Angels acquired for Kevin Gregg in spring-training of this year. He only pitched 4.1 innings for LAA, surrendering a 4.15 ERA with 2 K's. The move also allowed the Braves to designate Chad Paronto, the 32-year old reliever who had a 3.57 ERA in 40.1 innings-pitched this season. On the downside, his WHIP on the year was a horrid 1.64.
I'm sure there will be many suitors for Paronto if he were to be a minor-league free-agent, and it looks like since he's still arbitration eligible, he won't be claimed by any club. It's in Atlanta's hands from here.
