Otherwise, go end your career with the awful Nationals. I believe he is just trying to use the Nats as leverage. Why would he want to go there? If he comes cheap then why not.

I'll take a shaky Glavine over a healthy Reyes all day long. Glavine should stay in Atlanta both for his pitching and clubhouse presence. I'll take a shaky Glavine over a healthy Reyes all day long.

He turned down a 5 mil dollar offer from the Dbacks so its going to cost a lil more to get him. If its not Glavine then Campillo, Parr, Reyes and Morton will compete for the five spot.

I thought he had turned it all around with his first 10 or so starts last year. He pitched so good he lost 2 games 1 - 0 but then he went back to pitching like he did in 2007. I don't know what changed. I have completely given up on Jo-Jo. I thought he had turned it all around with his first 10 or so starts last year.

I'd much rather have Garland than Vazquez but we got who we got. Garland is in the same mold of Lowe, Hudson and Jurrjens. We are getting Glavine or going with what we had.

I'm not sure the Braves would offer that much up front , given what happened with John Smoltz,. I just hope Tom Glavine wants to pitch for Atlanta if he proves to be healthy. I think he could help us. He could bridge the gap until some of our young pitchers are ready. I admit i do not know a lot about Jon Garland I have never saw him pitch, but I have looked at his stats and they are good. I have no idea if he is a power pitcher, or relies on finesse. I only know there are a lot of free agents out there that maybe could be signed at a bargain. I just want to mention this if we can't get Tom for whatever reason. Maybe some of you folks have knowledge of what style of pitcher Jon Garland is. Would he be a good fit for Atlanta, if we can,t get Tom.

There's no ace figure when you think of aces but it worked for the team who boasted the best record in baseball last year. The Angels. No ace but all starters won over 10 games.

The team was only 3 - 10 in his starts but should have been better. Glavine's ERA without 3 bad starts would have been 3.60 which is good and damn good for a protential #5 starter.

I mean, we only saw him back for 13 games last year and we've gone through losing him before. Wherever he ends up for the season, I wish him the best.

I've given him as many chances as I have been able to stomach. He needs a lot of guidance and to keep working on everything before he's ready to pitch at the big league level.

I also think given the circumstances he needs an incentive contract . I am sure the pay role is getting close. I would like to have Tom back and i hope it works out. He would be a great help for the younger players. God bless I agree with Larry we need a lefty. I also think given the circumstances he needs an incentive contract .

I think bringing Glavine back is a necessity. We need a left handed pitcher to help counter the Phillies big three lefties plus turning around all the switchies in New York. They should sign him for about the same kind of contract they offered Smoltz. Hopefully Reyes won't get the fifth spot. Its like putting a batting practice pitcher on the mound.

Like you said, the Braves do not have a left hander in the rotation right now (I think if Glavine goes, Campillo will be the #5 guy). Not only that, I think he will be a great player for the Braves to have in the club house. I think he needs to stay and help mentor Jo-jo Reyes. Reyes needs something to help him get back on track. I wont be hurt as hurt if Glavine decides to play for another team. Probably because we have seen it happen one time before. But the Braves are just trying to figure out if he can compete right now. I would love to see him in an Atlanta uni in 2009. So, I say if he is able to pitch, the Braves should sign him. Hopefully he stays healthy for the 2009 season, and he wont pitch badly like he did.
