Glavine Back to the Braves

Glavine signs for 1 year, $8 million. [url]http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-braves-glavine&prov=ap&type=lgns[/url]

Assuming this is accurate, the timing of the deal is good as it means the Mets can safely offer arbitration when the deadline comes around and snag draft picks out of the deal. Braves pick is #18 overall too which is almost the best pick one can pick up.

Nymr83 Nov 18 2007 09:59 PM

yay free draft picks!

Elster88 Nov 19 2007 05:37 AM

We're going to sorely miss those 200 innings next year. Can't wait to see who the 2008 Brian Lawrence/Jose Lima is going to be. Cuz right now it seems like he's going to get a lot of starts.

OM can sign Livan Hernandez who pitches 200 innings without a problem. Unlike Glavine, Livan will be happy to be a Met because his half-brother is on the team. Unlike Glavine, Livan's heart will reside, at least for '08, in Flushing, not in Atlanta. I also have confidence that Livan will do better than to give up 7 runs in one-third of an inning in an important game.

Livan Hernandez's rubber arm would be nice. But that heart and happiness stuff is overrated.

Edgy DC Nov 19 2007 07:15 AM

Glavine's whole brother was a Met.

G-Fafif Nov 19 2007 07:22 AM

Won't be missing those final 10.1 innings.

So the Braves give their division rival a first round pick for one year of a guy well into his forties who had a 4.45 ERA in a pitchers' park in the NL, and who just changed the most appropriate word to describe complete and abject failure in a critical baseball game from "Buckneresque" to "Glavinesque." Um, sure, thanks. May we rip off many teams like that this offseason.

See ya, sucka. Looking forward to lighting him up four or five times this year. How great is this? Brad Lidge and Tom Glavine are the two key pitchers added to our two biggest rivals! Nice.

I don't know how to insert a chart the fancy way that some of you do. I pulled the numbers for the last 3 seasons. I was surprised that Livan is 32 years old (really?). Glavine has indeed been better than Livan over the past 3 seasons. Maybe there are better alternatives out there than Livan. All I know is that a) he wants to play at Shea b) he's a FA so no trade has to be made and c) he doesn't have a home in Atlanta.

I like to watch Livan pitch but would prefer not for our team. As for Glavine, scram. See your ass at Shea next year. Bring your earplugs.

In other news, MLB has announced the renewed expansion of the strike zone by 5 inches toward first base....

^ Soupy dissing Tom Glavine while being Tom Glavine ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

soupcan Nov 19 2007 08:43 AM

I'm the mad poster this week because I can't stand being Tom Glavine.

Frayed Knot Nov 19 2007 08:58 AM

And just think, after we incorporate our 2007 rankings into the existing list and then recalculate the whole thing, Glavine will move up a handful of spots (looks like to around 29th) meaning that you'll eventually get to be him again!!

soupcan Nov 19 2007 09:21 AM

Oh joy.

Fman99 Nov 19 2007 09:38 AM

Good riddance. I will remember him as the guy who choked away September 2007 along with half his teammates. Buh-bye Tom.

Centerfield Nov 19 2007 09:51 AM

Fuck Glavine.

soupcan Nov 19 2007 09:57 AM

I just hope that when he pitches against the Mets that treat him like the Braves did when he was pitching for the Mets. Because if they don't I swear I'll be pulling my hair completely out of my head.

seawolf17 Nov 19 2007 10:05 AM

Just keep him below #29 and we'll be okay.

Nymr83 Nov 19 2007 01:02 PM

does anyone honestly believe than Livan is only 32? I'd start the bidding at 35...

Elster88 Nov 19 2007 02:24 PM

Somehow lots of WFAN callers have gotten access to CPF accounts and are posting in this thread.

I don't want to waste time on mike and the idiot, i tried calling them once to rebuke their idiotic assertion that Carlos Delgado (and by extention all puerto ricans) is not a citizen, but i didn't get through.
