 ATLANTA -- When choosing between Tyler Pastornicky and Andrelton Simmons in spring training, the Braves said they opted for the more polished offensive player when Pastornicky was named the starting shortstop. . Now its time for the better defensive player. Simmons is expected to make his debut as the Braves starter when the team opens a series at Washington on Friday night. Simmons, regarded as one of baseballs top defensive shortstop prospects, was called up after Wednesday nights win over St. Louis. Pastornicky was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett. The 22-year-old Simmons almost beat out Pastornicky this spring. The native of Curacao hit .292 at Double-A Mississippi this year, showing he can do more than play strong defence. Pastornicky already has seven errors and cant match Simmons range or exceptionally strong arm. .J. -- Darrelle Revis is fully recovered from a concussion and will play for the New York Jets after practicing fully for the second straight day. .

The MLS club, however, insists that he remains in the fold, although he could be headed out for a loan spell. A Plata tweet Saturday night suggested the five-foot-two, 135-pound speedster was on the move. "It has been a pleasure playin 4 Toronto FC. I want 2 give much thanks n luv 2 the fans 4 all the support during my time here. Love Plata!!" said the tweet. During halftime of Saturday nights 1-1 tie with the New York Red Bulls, Earl Cochrane, the teams director of team and player operations, told reporters that Plata "today is a Toronto FC player." But he said the team has taken calls about the 20-year-old Plata, from clubs in Ecuador and Mexico. "Weve toyed with the idea and were continuing to think about whether we loan him out," he said. "The fact that weve got some depth in that position allows us to even entertain this," he added. A club spokesman, reacting to the Plata tweet, said after the game that Cochranes assessment remains the club line. Plata has two more years on his MLS contract and Cochrane called him a "great asset" that the team does not want to lose. "Loaning him out would allow him to go and continue developmment but it would free up some space for us to get a player who we probably think we would need more," said Cochrane. . Toronto FC has spoken about the need to beef up its defence. Plata, who is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, has seemingly fallen out of favour recently The leading scorer at the MLS Combine in 2011, his lack of size appeared to scare many clubs off. But Toronto sent the Chicago Fire a player to be named later for the 49th overall pick to grab Plata and the diminutive winger rewarded them with some electric runs at goal. He has three goals and five assists in 36 games over two seasons and became a fan favourite. Toronto coach Paul Mariner, at his post-game news conference, was clearly annoyed that Plata seemed to be dispensing news himself rather than allowing the club to take the lead. "I love that when 19-year-old kids come in and tell the press whats going on," he said sarcastically of Plata, who is actually 20. "Isnt that a wonderful situation for me to be in?" Cochrane, meanwhile, said there was nothing to report on veteran Italian defender Alessandro Nesta other than he was a player whom they had discussed internally. Earlier in the week, Mariner called Nesta "one of our targets." ' ' '
