Braves sign Peter Moylan to minor league deal

[FreemanFan]

It's great to have Moylan back. He was one of my favorite Braves and always seemed like a nice guy who kept things loose in the clubhouse. I hope he has a great career as a coach...starting in 2017.

MLBTR update on Moylan: Atlanta has announced a two-year, minor league deal with Moylan. When he is done rehabbing, Moylan will become a player/coach with the club’s Rookie affiliate.

Note: Moylan's deal includes a Spring Training invite for 2016.

PS: Moylan apparently lost 40 pounds since last Spring Training with Houston, he's at 215 lbs now.

Moylan will indeed be Danville's pitching coach this season, replacing Danny Meyer, who was promoted to the overseer of rehabbing arms.

Does anybody else find it ****ing hilarious that we have a pitching coach devoted specifically to pitchers who have had Tommy John surgery? I mean, yes, it's sad, but that is still overshadowed by how funny that is. I haven't laughed that hard in a long, long time. We ought to just put a couple of ballfields out behind Osceola medical center. Or maybe Dr. Andrews could set up a branch office in our clubhouse.

I guess that's what happens when you lead MLB in TJS for pitchers since at least 2011.

Might not be a bad idea. While we've had a lot of TJs, it's becoming increasingly common around the league in general.
