Jon Chuckery got a chance to talk to Gabe Burns. He is the Atlanta Braves beat writer for the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
Gabe explained that the Braves have something "special" in Johan Camargo. This is what teams are looking for because guys who can play multiple positions are more valuable than ever in today's game.
Johan Camargo played 114 games at 3B last season, 18 games at SS and three games at 2B. He's plug-and-play on the #Braves infield and just made his spring training outfield debut this past week. As long as he hits (he slashed .272/.349/.457 in 2018) Braves will find him a spot.

March 16, 2019 "The other day he played in the corner outfield, I think tomorrow he's going to be in the corner outfield," Burns told Chuckery. "They're giving him a little burn there. He can already play all around the infield and he's a good defensive player. When you put him in the outfield, he's already got one of the strongest arms on the team. So you plug him into the corner outfield and he's going to be a plus there too.
"He's growing into an immensely valuable player; a modern-day player. Just the way that baseball is trending, versatility wise, Camargo's just one of the game's better chess pieces at this point and the Braves are fortunate enough to have him and Charlie Culberson, two of the best in the sport when it comes to being able to field different positions and plug in wherever."
