Catcher doesn't want to be known as the latest Ernie Broglio

ATLANTA - Ernie Broglio knows a thing or two about the burden that&#39;s hovering over Johnny Estrada. <br> <br> For nearly four decades, Broglio has been the symbol of a baseball deal gone horribly wrong: a sore-armed pitcher who was swapped for Hall of Famer Lou Brock. <br> <br> Estrada could wind up in a similar situation, being the guy on the wrong end of a supposedly one-sided deal. He was a minor-league catcher in the Philadelphia organization when the Phillies shipped him to the Atlanta Braves for 18-game winner Kevin Millwood. <br> <br> He says, with grin, ``I&#39;m sure that will be stuck on my resume the rest of my career. Hopefully I will perform well enough so the fans of Atlanta will appreciate what I can do.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Everyone concedes Millwood-for-Estrada was an uneven trade brought on by the economics of baseball in the 21st century. Millwood was eligible for arbitration; the Braves didn&#39;t want to risk paying him the $9.9 million for the 2003 season the Phillies eventually gave the right-hander. <br> <br> Estrada, who spent most of last season at Triple-A Scranton, didn&#39;t make the Braves coming out of spring training. The team already had Javy Lopez and Henry Blanco, so their third catcher started the season at Richmond. <br> <br> Estrada was hitting close to .400 at AAA when the Braves called him up last weekend, needing a catcher after Lopez strained a hamstring. This could be a short stay, though. <br> <br> In his first three starts, Estrada was 3-of-11 with two RBIs. <br> <br> He isn&#39;t likely to get much of an opportunity with the Braves until 2004.
