Atlanta Braves: Should John Smoltz be re-signed to help Braves bullpen?
The Boston Red Sox cut John Smoltz Friday after the veteran pitcher, signed as a free agent this past January, managed only a 2-5 record in eight starts with an 8.33 ERA.
YOU TELL US: Do you think Smoltz, who racked up 154 saves from 2001-04 as Atlanta’s closer, should be re-signed to help in the Braves bullpen? Or is he, at age 42 and coming off shoulder rehab, simply out of gas?

John has been a great pitcher over the years. I would say no to a comeback. Rest on your record big John and preserve your sats. Look back to the great Mickey Mantle. Had he know when to quit, he would have had a lifetime batting average of 300. He finished at 299.
