    Braves Cut Wickman

    According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Braves have designated closer Bob Wickman for assignment.
    This is quite a surprise, but if the Braves don't think Wickman is good enough to close any longer, it's likely the right move. It's doubtful he'd be of use in any other role. The Braves will likely go to a closer-by-committee for now, with Rafael Soriano and Peter Moylan becoming the favorite for saves. Octavio Dotel, who is out with a shoulder strain, could take over as the primary closer next month.
    I knew he was struggling but didn't know it was this bad. I wonder if the Yankees or Dodgers would go after him.

    A little surprised but he has been struggling and I'm getting sick of seeing it. It is just not him either.
