ATLANTA GETTING BUSY


Atlanta, GA

You don't have to be a playoff team to be making big moves. Let's take Atlanta, for example. Last season, they finished 4th in the always-tough AL East. They finished 42 games out of 1st. Is it time to panic? NOT SO FAST, MY FRIEND! Atlanta owner talbott08 isn't worried one bit. He went out and signed 2 talented FA's to deals today.



EDGAR ESTRADA


First off, the Convicks signed Edgar Estrada to a 4yr/54M deal. Estrada is a nice blend of power and speed, and he'll definitely help out in that Atlanta lineup. Solid sign by the Atlanta franchise.



PEDRO VELAZQUEZ


Atlanta helped beef up their starting rotation by signing FA SP Pedro Velazquez to a modest 2yr/6.2M deal. Velazquez spent the last 4 seasons in Little Rock, where he compiled a 36-32 record. Velazquez will be relied upon to help out an Atlanta pitching staff that finished 24th in Team ERA with 4.55.
