Phil Stockman's future in the bigs

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that John Smoltz pitched a scoreless inning in a rehab start over the weekend. They reckon that Smoltz could be back in the major league lineup by tomorrow. This would mean someone would have to move to make way for Smoltz. The frontrunners for cutting (according to talkingchop.com) are Phil Stockman and Buddy Carlyle. Stockman hasnt had all that many opportunities in his short time in the bigs this year, and Bobby Cox has a bit of a reputation for making things a bit tough for rookies, so Stockman could be headed back to AAA.

Stay tuned for more news as it happens
