Roster cuts begin wtih Stockman
Parr among Braves moves expected to be announced Monday

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Phil Stockman's injury-plagued career with the Braves
came to a close on Sunday when he was given his unconditional release.
Stockman made just one Grapefruit League appearance this year before being
sidelined with a lower back ailment that was causing him to feel discomfort
down his entire left leg. The 6-foot-8 right-handed reliever has battled
numerous ailments since tearing his left hamstring in 2006.
Last week, Stockman indicated that he felt he's dealing with an ailment that
will need to be surgically repaired.
"It's frustrating for me to be hurt," Stockman said March 8. "But it's the
same problem. I've been rehabbing it for two years. I've tried everything and
done everything the Braves have asked me to do rehab-wise, and it's still there.
So there's nothing I can do to get the problem right. So now, I guess it's up
to them to go in there and get the problem right."
When healthy, Stockman proved to be an effective pitcher. Last year, the
29-year-old hurler tossed 7 1/3 scoreless innings in six appearances with
Atlanta and posted a 2.10 ERA in 19 appearances for Triple-A Richmond.
But the fact that he was healthy enough to combine for just 25 appearances
provided further indication that his health could prove to be a problem
throughout his career. Since undergoing surgery to repair his hamstring in
January 2007, he has made a total of 49 appearances, with just six of those
coming at the Major League level.
By releasing Stockman, who was out of options, the Braves created an open
spot on their 40-man roster. This added flexibility could prove beneficial over
the next couple of weeks, when a number of teams are expected to approach
Atlanta about its wealth of Major League-ready pitching talent.
"[Stockman's] been hurt a lot," Braves manager Bobby Cox said. "Every time
we've wanted to call somebody up, he was the guy. But he was hurt and couldn't
go." A few teams seeking to improve their bullpen have inquired about Buddy
Carlyle, who posted a 3.59 ERA in a career-high 45 appearances last year.
The Braves are expected to announce their second round of cuts Monday. But
right-handed pitcher James Parr was among those who were already informed on
Sunday that they're heading to Minor League camp.
Parr, who is expected to be part of Triple-A Gwinnett's starting rotation,
allowed just one earned run in 7 1/3 Grapefruit League innings this year. His
best effort came Friday, when he registered four strikeouts in 2 1/3 scoreless
innings against the Marlins.
"I did all that I could do," Parr said. "There's a lot of talent on this
team, and sometimes you have to pay your dues and wait your turn."

第一波砍人名單出來了，Stockman被釋出了，40人名單空一個出來了，預計明天還會有第
二波名單，預計是Parr，會在補人嗎？我們好像還缺一個左殺的樣子，Ohman好像真的不簽
了，那要找誰來接左殺這個位置呢？還有有球隊對Buddy Carlyle有興趣，想交易他去當牛
，不過一個五號應該也換不到啥好東西就是了。
