Signing Alert: Billy Wagner

The Atlanta Braves have solidified the ninth inning by signing Billy Wagner today to be their closer for the 2010 season.  Wagner had elbow surgery in September of 2008 so at age 37 he is an injury risk.  With Wagner hitting 97 on the gun in his return in late 2009, he is destined to produce.  Over his great career Wagner has completed 86.1% of his save chances.  In 2009 the braves had 59 save chances.  Calculated out that means about 40 saves for Wagner which is just what he needs to be the all-time leader in saves for a left hander.  Certainly a later round target on draft day.
