In all serious though, Smoltz was anything but washed up. In 2007 he posted a 3.11 ERA. His first start in 2008 he out-dueled Johan Santana in a 2-1 Braves win. If I were GM I think I would have rolled the dice on Smoltz being able to come back after surgery. Especially when you look at the rotation they currently have now.
Having said that, it's been a few days and I'm not quite as upset now as I was when initially heard the news. I hope Smoltzie has a great year w/ the Red Sox and when they come to Turner Field in June, I hope he throws a no-hitter against the Braves.
