Orlando Arcia could prove to be another diamond in the rough acquisition for Alex Anthopoulos

Orlando Arcia was at it again last night, coming up with a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth against the Giants. It was his second walk-off hit of the season — the first coming via home run in extra innings against the Red Sox — and just the third of the year for the Braves. Since Ozzie Albies went down with a fractured foot last week, it’s been Arcia filling in for the All-Star second baseman. So far, though, so good. Since taking over for Albies, Arcia is hitting .413 with a couple of home runs, and many of those base knocks have come in some clutch moments, like last night.

Braves: Alex Anthopoulos comments on the potential for early season trades

Nobody knows that more than Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos, who isn’t worried about his team sluggishly coming out of the gate.

Is Alex Anthopoulos the best GM in sports?

Being the general manager of a sports team is oftentimes a thankless job, but that isn’t the case when it comes to the Atlanta Braves. Despite being handed one of the best farm systems in baseball when he took over, it hasn’t all been easy for Alex Anthopoulos. For years, he’s been severely handcuffed financially by ownership, forcing him to constantly look for value at every turn in free agency. In almost all cases, he’s been a wizard in such scenarios. Whether it’s been one-year, pillow contracts or diamonds in the rough, Anthopoulos has made the most of the dollars allocated to him while also keeping the club financially free in the future. The result has been four straight NL East titles and, of course, one World Series championship that had been eluding the Braves since 1995.
