Schafer signed a one-year, $1.09 million contract with the Braves on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Analysis:

The Braves still have several big name players up for arbitration, including Craig Kimbrel, Freddie Freeman and Jason Heyward, but they were evidently comfortable with Schafer's number. The 27-year-old has good speed and will likely push B.J. Upton for playing time in center field this spring.
