I would hope you are right. It would be nice if the Red Sox treated Smoltz better than the Braves treated Tom Glavine.
Well, he was offered to start the season from the pen to begin with...but insisted on coming in as a starter. I just had this discussion last night while watching the game on MLB Network. He should have done 3-4 weeks from the pen...done some 7-8th inning relief...and then gone for full games at the end of August. He wasn’t ready yet...that surgery was no joke.
