Braves sign Michael Kirkman

[rico43]

Minor league deal with an invite and split contract with $800,000 if he sticks.

Lefty, 30, stands 6-4, split five seasons between Rangers and AAA, then pitched one game each for Padres and Brewers in 2016.

So I guess this is why we cut Walker? Didn't take long to prove me wrong.

Has nothing to do with Walker.

Ah, ok. No 40 man spot, just a spring invite. Still learning about roster mess.

[Knucksie]

To help round out the Gwinnett roster.

Lots of LH relief pitchers getting a look.

Both Bowman and DOB tweeting out the correction this AM that Kirkman actually did not receive a ST invite.

[Chico]

Lots of LH relief pitchers getting a look.

I think we'll find a Cervenka or Dario Alvarez out of this bunch.

I am really excited about our bullpen. I am hoping we get great production out of it. Here is the list of names just on our 40 man that could be potential contributors. You have to think Sims and Minter could also be ready this year, plus that kid we got from Seattle. there is a lot of potential that can be used AND be traded..

mauricio cabrera
josh collmenter
jason hursh
luke jackson
jim johnson
ian krol
akeel Morris
jose ramirez
armando rivero
paco rodriguez
chaz roe
lucas sims
arodys Vizcaino
daniel Winkler

**also Danks is a possible rebound candidate. I feel he is more likely pen fodder in our system.
