Smoltz wants to pitch next season Cardinals have interest in re-signing veteran hurler By Matthew Leach / MLB.com ST. LOUIS -- John Smoltz doesn't know where yet, and the role may be undetermined as well, but this much is sure: The veteran right-hander does intend to pitch in 2010. A representative of Smoltz's agents confirmed on Tuesday that Smoltz has decided he wants to pitch a 22nd Major League season. He met with his representatives at their Atlanta office on Tuesday to discuss his future. Smoltz said after the Cardinals were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs that he would make a decision in early November as to whether he wanted to pitch again, but even then he was leaning toward a return. Smoltz, 42, went a combined 3-8 with a 6.35 ERA in 2009 in stints with the Red Sox and Cardinals, but he fared much better after joining St. Louis. In seven starts with the Cardinals, he was 1-3 with a 4.26 ERA, collecting 40 strikeouts and nine walks in 38 innings. The Cardinals have expressed an interest in having Smoltz back for 2010, and he acknowledged in October that he felt he was a good fit with the club. St. Louis has two rotation spots open, with Adam Wainwright, Chris Carpenter and Kyle Lohse under contract. Smoltz filed for free agency on Thursday, the first day that eligible players could file. He is a no-compensation free agent, so regardless of whether St. Louis offers him arbitration, the Cardinals will not receive Draft picks if he signs elsewhere. 大意就是 老姜要繼續奮戰了...當然 我們家簽下他的機會蠻高的 他也認為待在我們家還不錯 所以我認為續約機會不低 其實 我比較希望他能來我們家關門 FRANKY季末的表現讓我驚驚 而且他可以順便創個紀錄XD --
