Thanks, Smoltzy, for all you did for the Braves.

Hope he gets another Championship.

I hope he does too

Guessing they will be using him as a bullpen arm, and spelling Paps in closing. That will let them move Masterson back in as a starter, which they need.

Not a Braves fan, but I just can't see him in another uniform. Wow.

We got Baldelli too. The people in RI just shat themselves with joy because he's from Woonsocket.

I like Smoltz, but it's a weak consolation prize after losing out on Texeira.

same exact feeling on this Vin. Ownership has clearly put away the checkbook this offseason. How can I get excited abut a 42 year Old who's arm could fall of anytime and a guy who can only play about 35% of the time due to some strange ailment

Not to knock Smoltz and his career, but why do you think Atlanta's not keeping him?

Kinda like Griffey and the Reds. He hit his peak w/ Seattle and we got stuck w/ the leftovers.

If we got Teixiera, we'd've lost Youkilis. After that Denis Leary rant, Youk should be a Red Sox for life.

I Disagree here. Youk would have moved back 3B his naturaL position and Lowell would have been odd man out

You Massholes seem to be missing the point here - the Sox did NOT get Smoltz for his arm, but for his bat. He's slotted to PH for Big Poopie.
