Chuck James Called Up

Chuck James, a highly regarded prospect for the Atlanta Braves has had his contract purchesed from AAA.

"Chuck James - Starting Pitcher
Braves purchased the contract of LHP Chuck James from Triple-A Richmond.

Since Mike Hampton apparently won't pitch, James gets a callup after all. After posting a 1.08 ERA in seven starts for Single-A Myrtle Beach and a 2.09 ERA in 16 starts for Double-A Mississippi, he went 1-3 with a 3.48 ERA in six starts for Richmond. He's unlikely to make any starts, but he could be useful in middle relief."

How do you guys think he performs in his role?

Lefties
If he ends up being used primarily against lefties, I suspect he'll fare very well.  He's dominated lefties at every level and I see no reason why he shouldn't be able to continue that success.  unless fo course he jumps off another roof.

Chuck James
As mentioned above, he's been absolute death to left-handed batters. Not that he's been poor by any stretch of the imagination against righties.

I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up getting a start at the end of the season while the Braves try to align the playoff rotation.

James might just get his chance...
Report is that Mike Hampton is having a season ending elbow surgery that will keep him out next year as well. The Braves might replace Hampton in the rotation with another lefty in James.
