Moylan Gets Chance 9 Years Later
"Peter Moylan made such a good impression in the World Baseball Classic that he's got another chance to make it to the big leagues - nine years after he squandered the last one," reports the AP. "The 27-year-old Australian is certainly the most intriguing player in camp for the Atlanta Braves, having signed with the team last weekend after pitching for his native country in the WBC.
. . . .
"Moylan got his first chance at the majors after high school, signing with the Minnesota Twins. He spent two seasons in the rookie leagues but couldn't throw harder than the high 80s and irritated the organization with his immaturity.
. . . .
"After the 1997 season, he was released by the Twins. He returned to Australia, endured a couple of back operations and began throwing with a sidearm motion about six months ago. Suddenly, he had a lot more pop on the ball."
This is a good story to come out of the WBC.
