"You're not good enough to get guys out." That's exactly what Atanta Braves general manager Frank Wren told Tom Glavine. Are you serious!? For one, I guarantee that Tom Glavine is MUCH better than a lot of other lefties out there that somehow get the chance to pitch in the major leagues. Secondly, show this guy a little respect. He has been an icon of your organization. I don't blame Glavine for feeling cheated - he didn't get to take his final victory lap as an Atlanta Brave. I hope a NL team picks him up and Tom channels those emotions into a nice final season.
John Smoltz speaks out in support of his friend.

I'm a little bummed about the way they let Glavine and Smoltz go, BUT...Wren had to make room for Medlen and Hanson--the "new" Glavine and Smoltz.
I just hope they don't deal Frenchy for a sack of magic beans.
How would you feen about trading Francoeur for Brad Penny? That's a rumor I've been hearing.
I don't want to see Francoeur traded, period. Frenchy for Penny doesn't make a lot of sense to me--the Braves are OK on pitching, they just need to score more runs.
Glavine is a guy I want to see play forever. ANY guy I owned a Donruss of when I was a kid that is still playing I have to pull for to have success now.
Glavine can still be effective, but he's a fly ball pitcher now if you look at his ratio. He should try for a bigger ball park team to pick him up like San Diego, Los Angeles, even San Francisco.
