…have been alive a shorter amount of time than John Smoltz has been pitching for the Atlanta Braves. However, he was at Atlanta’s Turner Field this morning to clean out his locker. Smoltz has agreed in principle to a $5.5 million, 1 year deal with the Boston Red Sox, who saved a lot in picking up a great pitcher.

Smoltz had 210 wins and 154 saves while a member of the Braves. In the mid-to-late 90’s he was a member of the greatest pitching staff ever; including future MLB Hall of Famer’s Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine. The Braves won their division 14 straight years, but were only able to win 1 World Series.

Injuries and severe pain have hampered Smoltz the last few years, but, when healthy, he is still one of the most effective pitchers in the league. He joins a Red Sox team that is a perennial contender and on the short list of potential World Series Champions. While it will be strange to see him in another jersey, Smoltz career is old enough to make its own decisions.
