"What you get is a guy who loves to put on the uniform and loves to compete. I'm excited to be here. This city is surrounded by a ton of history and a ton of players and a ton of fans. I'm as determined and I'm as focused as I have ever been. ... To speak to how loyal I am, you must know, I am a Lions fan. So that speaks to my loyalty. I'm going to be pretty loyal to this uniform." A few quick hits from the press conference: ．Epstein called Smoltz "a physical freak," and said, surprisingly, that Smoltz would be capable of pitching by April, perhaps even Opening Day. Smoltz 將會進入先發輪值，體檢結果只能用驚奇形容 可能在四月就能投球，甚至或許開幕戰！不過還是依照 Smoltz 調整的情形。 ．去年11月 Smoltz 寄了一段影片(丟橄欖球)給紅襪表示有興趣來打球， 紅襪印象深刻，派出 FO 代表 Ben Cherrington、訓練員 Mike Reinhold 投手教練 John Farrell 去亞特蘭大與他會面； "Even for a guy who's been in the big leagues for 21 years," Smoltz said, "That really impressed me." (難怪一拍即合) ．Smoltz 覺得自己還可以投七年，5月他即將滿42歲 "Age is just a number," Smoltz said ．Smoltz 在跨聯盟時喜歡上在芬威投球，他還沒在這裡丟過分數。 ．Smoltz attended the Celtics game last night, and in the third quarter, they flashed his face on the JumboTron. "It blew me away," Smoltz said. ．Smoltz 說他對勇士沒有 bitterness (想不到形容詞...) 勇士跟紅襪兩方展現出的誠意讓他沒有選擇。 ．"Tiger called me and said, 'We still playin golf?' " Smoltz said. "I said, 'Yeah, we're still playing.' " Woods 說 Smoltz 是他看過 PGA 之外最會打高爾夫的人 --
