Subject: Hampton Finally Released???

Got a text that the Braves finally cut him loose, but can't find confirmation anywhere. Anyone else hearing this???

Only thing I can find is that he left his rehab start on Wed. on Rotowire:

Hampton (pectoral muscle) left Wednesday's rehab start for Double-A Mississippi after just two innings due to a strained groin, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Why would they cut him when they can pick up his $20million option for 2009????

I hear the Rockies are looking to trade Matt Holiday for a proven SP. ;)

I think serving is a more accurate choice of words there.

Welcome back Fausto Carmona as well. 40 pitches in the first inning, 6ERs.

"I think serving is a more accurate choice of words there. "

Very True, but I posted that when he was still up 9-3...
