abrnfanatc 6 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Not a Braves fan, but it will be very sad to see him go, if that is what ends up happening. Even though I still look at Maddux as a traitor, he Smoltz and Glavine made up the best trio of starting pitchers in the modern era IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanTiger 20,499 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Man, I hate that. I was really hoping this move to the BP would prolong his career another year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthLink02 8 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I still can't believe he had been pitching on so many surgeries More power to him if he thinks he can come back from what is it...5th major shoulder surgery? Well, may not be 5 shoulder surgeries as he had Tommy John once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autigeremt 6,643 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hate to see it happen like this. John is a real Brave, and it's been a fun ride if it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger88 934 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Yes, now glavine is the only one left from the first playoff team. Sad to see old Smoltzie go down like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCWarEagle 0 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Smoltz has had an amazing career, and perhaps even more amazing is the fact that he has spent his entire major league career with one team. He really developed into the face of the franchise IMO. I remember when he, Glavine and Steve Avery were the great young group of pitchers leading the Braves from the depths of the standings all the way to the World Series. Avery fell off pretty quickly, but then the Braves got Maddux and it was an amazing rotation. I'm glad the surgery was succesfull and I guess time will tell whether he is able to come back or not. Whether his career is over or has a little more gas in the tank, I hope he makes it into Cooperstown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
