Garber still a spring chicken in Braves camp

BRADENTON, Fla. -- You wonder where former Braves reliever Gene Garber is these days? Most of the time you can find him working on the farm -- not the Minors -- "his" farm.

"Now we have chickens, that keeps us busy."

Garber has been busy working on his Pennsylvania farm since he retired following the 1988 season, but this is his 12th straight spring as the Braves' guest pitching instructor.

"They say I can talk to any of the young pitchers that I care to and they don't care what [I] say to them," Garber said.
