Top catching prospect Christian Bethancourt and shortstop Andrelton Simmons are among the players not on the 40-man...

The Atlanta Braves non-tendered Peter Moylan a couple months ago due to his increasing salary and his injuries. He has been a fan favorite for the Braves. (If you are not following him on Twitter, I would recommend it. He is very entertaining).

There was an old joke about oldtime songwriter Steve Allen it dates back a bit, but stay with me.

For all I know, Nickelback may be a pretty good band...

There seems to be universal agreement that the arsenal of young power arms that the Braves will take to battle needs a calming veteran presence. Since there’s no Billy Wagner...

The Braves avoided salary arbitration with Peter Moylan on Tuesday by re-signing him to a one-year, $1.5 million contract. The 31-year-old right-handed reliever had a career-best season in 2009, his first since he missed all of 2008 recovering from Tommy John surgery.
