Braves Sign George Sherrill

The Braves signed George Sherrill to a one-year deal worth at least $1.2MM.
The agreement, which is official now that Sherrill passed his physical, could
be worth as much as $1.4MM if the left-hander reaches certain incentives.
Sexton/Landrum/Williams represents Sherrill.
Sherrill, 34 in April, was non-tendered by the Dodgers after a lost 2010
season. He's always been useful and sometimes dominant against lefties in his
career. The Braves could be strong on the southpaw relief front, with Eric
O'Flaherty and Jonny Venters already in the fold.
ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick first reported the agreement (on Twitter)
