Braves Demote James, Promote Stockman: Official Press Release with Facts and Links

It is the truth. Chuck James was in fact demoted, but for the life of me I really can't figure out why . Phil Stockman was recalled but for the life of me I really can't figure out why . Anyways here is official confirmation from the Braves official website in case, you know, you want some proof of a claim.

Enjoy and have fun speculating possible starters. I know I will. Bye

We are in need of a starter

With James down in the minors and Smoltzie becoming a closer we are in fact in need of TWO starters that can go into the seventh inning.

Well one of the rumors floating around, via Buster Olney’s latest blog is that we’re keeping tabs on Freddie Garcia’s rehab.

Yeah it made me cringe, but there’s like 5 or so other teams in that mix as well.

Let's see...

We have Huddy, Jair and Tommy all doing as expected or better. I’d say that’s a fine top of the rotation at this point, though it’d be nice if we could slot someone else up there behind Hudson and maybe Jurrjens. For the other two spots, we have Reyes and a bunch of guesswork. They could let Bennett slip back into the rotation (which would be made possible by the promotion for Stockman), give Campillo a try there or call up Charlie Morton earlier than expected. They could even push the Pads to deal Maddux now or look at other trade possibilities. I’m not too worried about it, as long as they continue to make smart moves like dropping James for Stockman.
