Player Notes
July 29, 2008
Atlanta pitcher John Smoltz will travel with teammate Tim Hudson to Alabama on Wednesday to have his arm's progress examined by Dr. James Andrews, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Our View:Smoltz is still out for the season of course, and this is more about whether or not he will pitch in 2009.
July 8, 2008
John Smoltz has been transferred to the 60-day DL, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Our View:Smoltz is out for the season after undergoing shoulder surgery, and the transfer frees up a spot on the 40-man roster.
June 24, 2008
MLB.com lets us know that John Smoltz has had a lot of time to think since being shut down for the season. "There's really nothing left for me to do," Smoltz said. "There's nothing I want to do but get back to the playoffs...I'd rather have another Tommy John [surgery] than to have one of these surgeries again," said Smoltz, who had four elbow surgeries before having his shoulder cut for the first time two weeks ago.

Our View:Smoltz does not sound too optimistic at this point so nobody else should be either.
June 13, 2008
Following shoulder surgery, John Smoltz stated that he wants to pitch again, according to the AP. Smoltz said he hopes to know more about his chances when he is first able to throw again in four or five months.

Our View:The doctors found significant damage in his right shoulder during the surgery earlier this week, and he will be 42-years old before he has a shot of coming back.
June 11, 2008
John Smoltz's shoulder was more seriously injured than initially thought. When he was cut open yesterday, there was significant damage to his labrum, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "Coming out of this surgery, I think there are a lot of unknowns," GM Frank Wren said. "The one thing we do know is how much of a competitor John is, and he's going to do everything in his power to come back. But based on the surgery, we just don't know."

Our View:Smoltz will be 42 before he has any sort of chance of coming back from this injury, which may be too much to ask. He doesn't want to call it a career just yet, but it could turn out that he has no choice.
