Tom Glavine to Visit Dr. James Andrews

PrintHot off the presses, here is a media advisory from the Atlanta Braves organization:
Atlanta Braves left-handed pitcher Tom Glavine will be evaluated by Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala., on Wednesday, April 15. Glavine, who signed a one-year contract with the Braves in January, experienced some discomfort in his left shoulder during his rehabilitation start yesterday (April 12) at Mississippi (AA) and was removed from the game in the third inning during his warm-up pitches as a precaution. Glavine underwent surgery by Dr. Andrews on August 21, 2008 in Birmingham, to repair a torn flexor tendon in his left elbow.
Glavine has been scratched from his scheduled start on Saturday, April 18 at Pittsburgh. He will be replaced by left-handed pitcher Jo-Jo Reyes, who will be recalled from the Gwinnett Braves (AAA) for his start on Saturday.
I speculated earlier that Glavine would be skipped as a precaution, and now that precaution looks like dire news. Funny that he had discomfort in his shoulder, but now it's perhaps his elbow that is really the problem.

Glad it is Jo Jo
… let’s not bust out the TH arb clock one week into the season.

This. I’m so happy I get to see ONE of my boys this weekend. Maybe Anderson’s calf will be more serious than expected and he’ll be put on the DL…

Just for the record
Wren had no interest in Ohman after November. We withdrew the offer from Ohman after we picked O’Flaherty off of waivers and traded for Boone Logan. So no, Glavine did not cost us Ohman.
Yes, he did.
Or, more to the point, Wren deciding that O’Fucerty and Logan were the answer in the ’pen and stopping his pursuit of Ohman and spending money on Anderson and Glavine are all interconnected decisions.
i think that if ur gonna be a smartass and make a pun out of a name u have to do the same to the other name
I dont know how u would insult the name Logan…but just some food for thought…and no reflection of the actual argument urself
Heyward,Hanson,and Shaffer r ready now!! Why do you think they havent signed the "right handed bat"?

I really shouldn't keep replying to this, it's really old..
But DOB reported that Wren withdrew the offer in November. That’s just a fact. The decisions are only interconnected in that Wren had the money to sign Anderson because Ohman didn’t take the contract.
Yes
He obviously withdrew the offer to Ohman because he was planning to spend that money elsewhere. Whether he new specifically or not, at the time, that he was going to use it on Glavine and Anderson is irrelevant. It was a bad choice, that we’re seeing evidenced now.
Instead of offering Garret and Glavine contracts, he could’ve easily come back and made a new offer to Ohman. He choose not to. So, yes, Glavine (and Anderson) are costing us a quality LHP in the bullpen and contributing nothing to the team.
If I could have bought stock in Glavine visiting Dr. Andrews before April 30th....
… I would have loaded up in the preseason. However that stock would probably have been trading for around $1,000 a share, because I think we all pretty much saw this coming

Hope it works out Tom
Hopefully JoJo has his good stuff on Saturday.

Color me not excited..
…about Jo-Jo being called up. Yes, he was ‘lights out’ this spring, but common that doesn’t mean a thing. He’s proven to be mediocre at best at the Major League level.
He was the shit for about 5 minutes....
….then he turned to shit. Maybe he got it back, though?

For me
I would say this is Jo-Jo’s last chance. He dominates the minor leagues, but age be damned, can’t translate it at the Major League level. I want to see him succeed, but if he throws up another meltown-like streak of starts, I’m all for giving him his “change of scenery,” even if he goes all Kyle Davies and starts succeeding elsewhere, because that would be great for his career.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
Speaking of Tom Glavine
Did anybody just see Pelfrey fall over himself while pitching? haha, funny stuff. Go Padres!!!

depth
Let’s just hope Jo-Jo’s spring success accompanies him to Turner Field this year. I think he could be due for a breakthrough at the major league level.
It’s good to have some pitching depth options, eh?
He's got the stuff. No question. It just seems to elude him.

BTW… not such a flattering pic of Tommy Boy on the cover page right now. I’ve got tons of love for Glavine, but he looks 70 there.

Nick Swisher just pitched a scoreless 8th inning for the Yankees, giving up only 1 hit and registering a strikeout. And to think all you people who argued with me when I said we should trade for him. He could be helping us out plenty!
Swisher > Boyer
You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the goddamn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all.
by Smoltz's Beard on Apr 13, 2009 10:45 PM EDT reply actions
Heck ... Swisher even has more strikeouts
Boyer: 0
Swisher: 1
Reporter: How will you address all of the dropped passes?
Mike Smith: I don’t think that we were as sharp as we have been catching the football. It’s something that is very fixable. It’s VERY fixable.
Did you pick him up the other night??? FANTASY POINTS!!
As much as we love it, baseball is just a game. Rest In Peace Nick Adenhart.
i think batters should only get the numerical stats for pitching…liek Swisher’s strike out and (had it happened) W or S or Hold…should count
similarly I should get credit fro Gallardo’s three run home run last week…but should not be penalized by his low avg or ops
Heyward,Hanson,and Shaffer r ready now!! Why do you think they havent signed the "right handed bat"?
by fatazfoot on Jan 7, 2009 8:59 PM EST
No, I was swayed by the majority in the game thread…he hit a bomb last night, too.

I wonder........
If most of you who don’t want to see Jo-Jo will act the same way toward Tommy if he comes up and puts up a 5+ ERA his first 2 seasons?
Yes. That would happen. For good reason, too.
Sentences are for schmucks

JOJO can only improve.
Glavine can only decline.
