I like this deal a lot, 1st Rd draft picks are basically crapshots anyway. If Glavine can stay healthy and continue to pitch well this could really solidify the rotation.

-Smoltz
-Hudson
-Glavine
-James
-Hampton/Carlyle

This could be among the best Rotations in the League if the older guys can continue to pitch well and stay healthy. Hudson needs to get his career back on track and perform like he did in Oakland in the late 90's early 00's. Chuck James looks like he will be an average-above average middle of the rotation starter, and with Hampton who knows.

And that's the huge caveat. James and Carlyle are both #5 starters, and Hampton (even if healthy, a huge if) will probably be a marginal #5 given his age, time off, etc. Who knows what to expect with him.

We can't expect Smoltz to remain healthy for the entire regular season, let alone into the playoffs at this stage of his career. Glavine loses gas down the stretch at his age, and Hudson can be schizophrenic. We still need a solid #4 pitcher, at least.

Wtf is up w/ all the Chipper bashing? I seriously doubt half the stuff said about him in this thread are true. Not a leader.......lol. I seriously doubt anyone posting about Chipper's showering habits is a very credible person to listen to. Trying to bash on Chipper is like bashing on Al Gore for turning on lights in his house. You obviously don't like him for some stupid reason and will latch on to any stupid rumor to justify it.

And lol at Smoltz calling him out for playing injured. He's a fking pitcher!!!!

Smoltz is the clubhouse leader and he proved it by doing that. Perhaps you should try watching more games instead of posting ignorant crap like that.
