Why do I think the Cards could fix him? Well, the Red Sox couldn't, that's clear.

Looks like Maddux got out just in time.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90

University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

It's sad to see him go out like this if this turns out to be his last year pitching in the majors. He's had a pretty great career overall.
"I tried to play golf, but I found out I wasn't very good." -Joey Votto on his offseason hobby search
An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldn’t do. “I can’t skate or play hockey,” Votto said. “Well, I can skate ... but I can’t stop.”
He should have called it a career when he got hurt last year. I know why he didn't, but it was a mistake to try to come back.
I could see the Braves grabbing him again.
Ugh, it would so stink for him to go out like that, though. Humiliating.

I know his ERA is through the roof, and I haven't seen him pitch or anything, so I don't know how he is throwing....
but his peripherals are actually really good. Hard to believe it could be ALL luck based, but just based on stats, I could see it being possible that Smoltz could latch on to a contender (MIL, TEX??) and actually pitch pretty well.
I would sign him to a minor league deal with the promise of a contract if he shows he is healthy next spring. He might be done, but it's worth a shot.

First ballot HOFers should know when it is time to ride off into the sunset.
I would see about going back to being a reliever before retiring.
