Baseball. Blogging. Whenever.Wednesday, June 03, 2009Glavine says he’s readyThe Braves have a decision to make:After throwing six scoreless innings and earning a win in his third minor-league rehab start in two weeks, Braves pitcher Tom Glavine pronounced himself ready to return to the major leagues Tuesday night as the 43-year-old veteran turned in a solid outing in Rome’s 3-0 win over the Augusta Green Jackets in front of a sellout crowd of 5,105 at State Mutual Stadium. Given four set slots in the rotation, Kris Medlen's recent good outing and Tommy Hanson knocking on the door, the Braves truly don't need Tom Glavine at this point. What's more, they'll be on the hook for a $1 million bonus upon activating him. But that's not Tom Glavine's problem, is it? They signed him, and they offered the bonus. He has responded about as well as can be hoped in rehab. Most importantly, he's Tom Glavine. If the Braves pitch him, the fans will show up and cheer, as they should. If they jerk him around, no one will be happy. I've stated a few times how I wish that Glavine wouldn't pitch again. I said that, however, because I feared he couldn't, and didn't want to see him embarrassed. It's still not clear that he will be effective in the Majors, but he has shown enough in his rehab starts to be given a shot, even if I'll be watching it with trepidation. In any event, I don't see how the Braves can't give him a start or two at this point, so they may as well activate him, pay that million bucks, and hope for the best.

I’m not sure that throwing 65 pitches in low-A ball is a great sign of things to come in Atlanta. I’d feel a lot better about this if that start was in AAA or even AA. Posted 06/03 at 03:42 PM

I modeled my pitching demeanor and game strategy on Glavine and was hoping he’d walk away after #300. Trepidation is the right word for his starts now. But, the longer he plays means my kids will be a little older and able to appreciate it more when I take them to Cooperstown for Glavine’s induction. I see the article neglected to mention Glavine’s speed…I wonder if he’ll be throwing heat like Moyer. On a postive note, at least Augusta players had the thrill of facing two guys who played pro ball way back in the 20th century. Posted 06/03 at 04:00 PM

Jacob—He’s already pitched in AAA, but Rome was closer than Gwinnett’s next game when his turn came up again. But I would like to see him throw more pitches before saying he’s ready. Posted 06/03 at 05:31 PM

No confirmation yet, but there’s a report here that claims he’s been released… http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/9642590/Sources:-Braves-release-future-Hall-lock-Glavine Posted 06/03 at 06:08 PM

I, for one, am hoping for six scoreless innings with one hit and five Ks.
