Collins Excited to be Joining Pirates: 27-year old right-handed pitcher Collins has been a mainstay with the Atlanta Braves for years but all that is changing. As of today he will be calling the Pittsburgh Pirates home as he was claimed off waivers. Said Collins, "It is a new start, a new jersey, a new motivator - I'm excited to start playing ball again." Fans of the last place Pittsburgh Pirates are hoping they get the very best of the reliever.
