With two additions in two days, the Braves followed up their signing of lefty-hitter Matt Adams with the inking of right-handed pitcher Jhoulys Chacin. Like Adams, Chacin is expected to provide depth for the Braves, though anything can happen in a given season. And we don’t have to go very far back to pick out the
