OK. I'll be honest.
I didn't think camp worked this way.
First day of spring training for the Revs meant five no-shows. The players were awaiting final approval to travel to the U.S.
Then Wednesday, the second day of practice, the team trots out a new player.
But the Revs earn a pass on this one. Franklin Nunez, 30, has major league experience. Nobody turns down a talented pitcher. Here's his story:
* Right-handed reliever.
* Signed as free agent by the Dodgers in 1994.
* Pitched in Dodgers, Phillies, Mets, D-Rays and Braves organizations.
* Reached the majors with Tampa in 2004, 2005.
* Played for Triple-A Richmond in the Braves organization last season.
* Could compete with former major leaguer Shane Loux for closer.
