Thoughts on Tom Glavine


I am really shocked the Braves just released Tom Glavine like that. Look, I understand hes 43 and has lot of arm issues. I get all of that. What I don't get is why did you bring him back in the 1st place? Why did you lead this guy to believe he was going to pitch and then you just release a 2 time Cy Young award winner? Tom Glavine has been a complete professional on and off the field for the Braves franchise. He deserves better than this. Glavine pitched from 1987-2002 for the Braves. He is a 305 game winner, with 244 of those coming with the Braves. He is the ultimate Atlanta Brave. That shows his loyalty to the franchise and to the fans of Atlanta. The Braves certainly didn't show their loyalty to him and I hope the Glavine karma catches up with them very soon. What do you guys think?

I was pretty surprised by the whole ordeal as well. I don't know why they would sign the guy who helped carry their franchise for so long if they didnt have solid plans to play him.
Look what the dbacks did with randy johnson. They knew theyd be hard pressed to play him this season, so they let him get his 300th in another uniform.
