It would be a similar deal if a Maddux went away to said greener pastures, came back prodigal son-style, then was cut before a $1MM incentive hit instead of the amicable separation that did occur(in a sense, as much as I love Mad dog, I don't feel near as bad as if he was never disloyal or never chased money out of town) ... <br /><br />Sure the 11 innings makes it sting, but that's not the point so much. I think the Brave's fan-base can be disappointed in corporate baseball, but its hard to argue he deserves money today just because of his history - if they have a good option and can bypass 1MM, aren't they trying to make money? Forget about it ... business is business from the franchise/mgmt perspective.T-Dubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05444374016739702506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420778631930375028.post-49151652608059959032009-06-11T06:40:53.795-07:002009-06-11T06:40:53.795-07:00You know, the emotional side of me would probably ...You know, the emotional side of me would probably say that it was horseshit the way the Braves handled the Glavine situation. I always liked Glavine and he certainly was a premier 90's pitcher (and contributed immensely to the Braves success during that decade). <br /><br />But I do recall Mr. Glavine leaving Fulton County for GREENER pastures (greener by way of his bank account, not the landscape) when he left for Flushing. <br /><br />So in the spirit of Don Corleone's "it's just business" mantra, I say the Braves were well within their right to let him go. Hey, they have a younger horse who they want to bring up, get experience, and perhaps be a cog in their rotation for years to come. Glavine is older, coming off injury, and his health is unpredictable. And I believe he had an incentive laden contract that could have cost the Braves $ if he threw a certain amount of innings. <br /><br />It's not personal, it's business (on both ends). What's good for the goose is good for the gander.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03375647814103040750noreply@blogger.com
