[QUOTE="Randy Savage, post: 5463679, member: 545614"] It's not the injuries, it's the fact that he has some condition that he gets extremely drained after 2 innings and can barely stand anymore. He's got a shitload of talent, but he just can't stay on the field. As far as Smoltz...don't really care anymore. The Braves organization is all talk no action...they wanted Peavy but didn't want to part with minor league talent...they wanted to sign Burnett but let the Yankees sign him, they can't sign Furcal...they trade for Teix and then can't negotiate a deal and trade him a year later. They lost Smoltz, Glavine, Hampton (none of which contributed much last year anyway), Hudson is done for the season most likely, no one in their starting rotation would be higher than a #3 on any other team and their bullpen is injury prone. They've got some young guys that are very talented and have already had success in the majors- McCann, Escobar, Kotchman, Kelly Johnson, and Francoeur (although he took a huge step back last season) are all young players that have played very well. But they have absolutely no pitching, and their big move of the offseason was acquiring Javier Vasquez, which doesn't do much for me. They aren't the team they were when Turner was able to spend money. [/QUOTE]
