Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

As of last night, sources indicated that Smoltz was leaning toward Boston's offer which was said to be somewhere in the vicinity of $5.5 million guaranteed with the opportunity to earn a few million in incentives which could hike the salary up to $10 million. The Sox and Smoltz have been talking since before the Winter Meetings. The Sox do not anticipate that Smoltz will be ready until later in May, but one of the incentives being discussed would be a roster bonus if he's with the team by June 1.

Great. Just great. I have been giving FW a long leash, but this might convince me otherwise. Letting Smoltz walk probably doesn't mean a whole hell of a lot to the win total for 09, but, cosmetically, it's a terrible blow.
