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.

The reason for being cut wasn't because he gave up the 2 runs in a tie game the other night, but was because of his attitude. Teammates said he would get mad if he was brought into games in a non-save situation. What a tool.

What an a##. He was on a really good team too, in the middle of a pennant race. I don't understand some players.

"We're a team. Everybody has their own attitude. Everybody's got their own feeling about each other. Everybody's got their own way of going about their business. But when we put a uniform on and we're all together, we're all as one. And we need guys who want to go out there and perform."
