Smoltz's sore right shoulder, problems?

[kingmike74]

I have drafted Smoltz three years running and he has helped me win 4 league championships, should this year be different?

Here is what CBS said March 21st:

News: The Atlanta Braves have held John Smoltz out of his scheduled start Friday because of tightness in his right shoulder. Smoltz first felt the tightness earlier in the week and still felt the discomfort early Friday.

Analysis: Smoltz hopes to start Wednesday against the Nationals. But if he experiences more problems, his status for the start of the season could be in doubt. Fantasy owners should not be totally surprised by the news as he will turn 41 in May. This could be the perfect warning to Fantasy owners who still rightfully view him as a Fantasy ace. He pitched 200-plus innings in 2007 and just missed 200 strikeouts, but is an injury-risk at this stage in his career.

I think it's a real problem, and some sources have speculated a DL stint.

All speculation at this point, but definitely something that will take shape over the next couple of days.

He said it was fine and if it was a regular season game he would be pitching...

I'd still keep a close eye on the situation though.

Hes baseball immortality... hes been a lock to start 30 every season of his career


I dont have him but if I did I might be a little concerned but not much... Cox was asked if Smoltz was gonna start on the DL and he said he didnt think so

I have Smoltz ranked seventh behind Webb this year. He replaced Lackey for now. He has been my rock for a few years and I hope the shoulder scare lets me sneak up on him in later round this year.

the guy is 40....he just started pitching again after months off...I dont think this is serious.

I have him on one of my team, so I hope not but afterall he is 40 years old.

My 2 stud starters for my team Lackey & Smoltz... ..This could get ugly quick!

I also have Smoltz and Lackey... But also Peavy, but still, I am more than a bit worried.

As a Smoltz owner I was hoping to get some insight on his status.
And these are good information.

But these are just crap.

Who cares who you got on your team. This is not the place to discuss your rotation!
