Who would his clients be? Jun 7, 2000 (The Sports Network via COMTEX) -- Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - John Rocker, who was optioned from the Atlanta Braves to Triple-A Richmond on Monday, has said he may quit baseball altogether rather than accept the demotion. Rocker told radio station WKLS-FM in Atlanta on Wednesday that he is upset about the way he has been treated by the Braves and that he may not report to Richmond at all. He also commented that he may leave baseball and become a stockbroker. The controversial closer refused to appear with Richmond for the second straight day on Wednesday and he has until Thursday to report to the Triple-A Braves. The Richmond Braves are at the Toledo Mud Hens on Thursday for the third game of a three-game series. Rocker had 38 saves last season, and he has 10 saves in 11 opportunities this year, but walked 25 batters in 18 1/3 innings with a 3.85 ERA. Rocker was involved in a confrontation with Sports Illustrated reporter Jeff Pearlman before the Atlanta Braves game versus the Yankees last Sunday. Atlanta manager Bobby Cox has denied that the demotion is not connected to Rocker's off-field antics, but rather his Rocker's fellow teammates are not happy with his outbursts, and outfielder Brian Jordan went as far as to call Rocker a "cancer." * end of story *
