John Smoltz tested his troublesome shoulder with a bullpen session Thursday and called it his best day of spring training. Then the veteran pitcher said he wouldn't be "consumed" by questions about his health. He sounded like he's derived added motivation from perceived skeptics. "I've got a lot of pitching left," said Smoltz, who will turn 41 on May 15. "You can sometimes get caught up in things you have to explain." He repeated, "I've got a lot of pitching left." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution

They just talked about him a little bit in the telecast. Didn't say too much more than the article says. He gave up 5-6 hits, several on "test pitches." So nice to see Glavin and Smoltz in the same lineup again.

Smoltz willing to take on bullpen role when healed

You prefer to see him start or close?

I'd forgotten he was their closer for so long.
