The reality is he never wanted to be a Met. He signed with them when the game of chicken he had going with John Schuerholz backfired. Most Mets fans never accepted him and still viewed him as a Brave. This was especially true when we would periodically hear stories about how much he missed Atlanta, the Braves, Coxsie, Smoltzie etc. In 2007 when he imploded down the stretch and helped blow the division his reaction was - 1. What's the big deal. 2. Can't wait to get back to the Braves. Honestly, I think it's hilarious how his beloved Braves treated him in the end. I guess you can't go home again.

The only thing I am upset about is the manner in which it was done. Wren claims that they didn’t know until his last start in Rome Tuesday night. BS!!!!!!!! It was a fiscal move that just required honesty to a future hall of famer. Hanson needs to be up here there is no doubt in my mind, but don’t string Glavine around. He honestly thought he was going to pitch this week and so did I. welcome to the Braves Nate. I cant wait for you to start. We have no choice but to move on.

If he was performing a certain way against minor league hitters / only hitting certain numbers on the radar gun, maybe the Braves did learn something new at that point.
