February 22, 200917 yr After losing out to the Seattle Mariners in their Ken Griffey Jr. pursuit, the Atlanta Braves reportedly have quickly regrouped, landing veteran outfielder Garret Anderson. Anderson, who had played his entire career for the Angels, agreed to a one-year deal worth approximately $2.5 million, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Sunday. The newspaper reported that an official announcement is expected Monday. Anderson is expected to form part of a left-field platoon with Matt Diaz and might bat cleanup against right-handed pitchers. He hit .293 with 15 home runs and 84 RBIs in 145 games for the Angels last season. In 2,013 career games, the left-handed hitting Anderson has a career .296 average with 272 home runs and 1,292 RBIs. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3926475
February 23, 200917 yr Wow, only 2.5 million? We certainly could have used him in case Maybin isn't ready...

February 26, 200917 yr Yeah, good deal for the Braves, but bad for us. Now we get to see him 19 games a year (if healthy, though).
