The Book on Manny Acosta
Prospect Info
Manny Acosta
Born 5/1/1981
RHP, ATL
The 26-year-old Acosta, who was released by the Yankees in 2003, turned himself into a prospect last year and will make his major league debut now after amassing a 2.26 ERA in 59 2/3 innings for Richmond. His stuff is plenty good enough for the majors, but he is wild, possibly too much so for him to succeed right now.
Player Updates and Notes
Filling in for the injured (insert entire Braves bullpen here), Manny Acosta notched his second save with two hitless innings against the Marlins today. Acosta hasn't yet given up a run in April, and he's starting to look like a pitcher who could be successful in the closer's role, long-term.
