Is he any relation to the Braves former 1Bman, Joe?

Soria was a good pick-up. However, the Rule 5 guys usually come up, do OK for a few weeks and then fall back to obscurity.

The Royals pick this year Nate Adcock has had a nice spring. Will probably make the club. But it’s still anyones guess if he’s still around in July.
