I think he would be a perfect fit with Duncan and an 8th inning role.

Anybody with a good K/BB ratio still shows promise as a pitcher. Smoltz's small sample size with the Red Sox is not enough evidence to run his ass out of the game.

Not for every team, maybe, but for the Sox it seemed to be. Every team isn't the same though.

I'll just add something to that- Even had the Sox made the playoffs there was a very good chance he wouldn't have been on the playoff roster anyway.

Smoltz at 68 years old makes me feel better than Mitchell Boggs or Todd Wellemeyer at any age.

Throw Brad Thompson in there too for S&G's

He should be better in the NL I would believe.

But an 8+ ERA is an 8+ ERA so...........i dunno.

He's always been one of my favorite pitchers in baseball and I was excited when I heard he was coming back that I picked him up on waivers in my fantasy league only to be VERY disappointed and quickly learned that was a huge mistake.

Smoltz should retire after this season and get his PGA Tour card. He's one hell of a golfer.
