Per wiretap. Have not seen it on AJC.com yet. Probably a minor league contract with chance to make the ATL club.

It is a major league contract, he will be in a bullpen/spot start role.

My mouth dropped when I saw the headline on the wiretap. I've always liked him so I hope he does well with us.

If it's for the bullpen and spot rotation play, I'm OK with it. Can be very useful for times when needed.

Exactly, Wren has said the signing of Livan will have no affect on the 5 spot in rotation. Livan is simply adding depth. One or two of Hanson, Jurrjens, Hudson gets injured, you have Livan, C Martinez or Medlen to use for that spot start.
