Cable Guy Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Pitchers Jorge Campillo, Buddy Carlyle and Vladimir Nunez were removed from the Braves' 40-man roster and opted for free agency last week, though that doesn't necessarily mean the team has cut ties with the right-handers. The club could offer any of them contracts later, probably minor-league deals since major-league roster spots are needed to protect younger players during the offseason.Jorge Campillo was 8-7 with a 3.91 ERA in 39 games (25 starts) in 2008, but made just five relief appearances in 2009 before having rotator cuff surgery.John Bazemore, AP Jorge Campillo was 8-7 with a 3.91 ERA in 39 games (25 starts) in 2008, but made just five relief appearances in 2009 before having rotator cuff surgery."We will make decisions on them sometime in the future," general manager Frank Wren said.Campillo was 8-7 with a 3.91 ERA in 39 games (25 starts) as a 29-year-old rookie in 2008, but made just five relief appearances in 2009 before having rotator cuff surgery. He hopes to be recovered in time for spring training.Carlyle missed much of the 2009 season after being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes while on the disabled list for a back strain. He had an 8.86 ERA in 16 relief appearances, after posting a 3.59 ERA in 45 appearances in 2008.Nunez, 34, had a 2.16 ERA in 45 appearances at Class AAA Gwinnett, with 79 strikeouts in 83 1/3 innings.DAVID O'BRIEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Campillo is really the only one I would be interested in giving a shot during the spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconsfan567 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Campillo is really the only one I would be interested in giving a shot during the springIt would be nice to see if Carlyle could get back to pitching like he did in 2008. He was really good for us out of the pen in 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K26dp Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I'd give it a better than 50% chance that Campillo and/or Carlyle is in the Braves camp this spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
