Braves re-signed 1B Ernesto Mejia to a minor league contract. | ||||||
He'll also receive an invite to spring training. Mejia enjoyed a monster season with Double-A Mississippi in 2011, but turns 26 in December and strikes out much too often to think he could be successful against big-league pitching. | ||||||
