Smoltz Suggests Braves Save Hudson, Medlen For Division Series
John Smoltz knows the thought is unconventional, but he thinks the Braves should save Tim Hudson and Kris Medlen for the National League Division Series.
The problem is that as a likely Wild Card entrant, Atlanta would have to win a one-game playoff in order to advance to the NLDS.
Smoltz theorizes that the risk is worth taking because the Braves stand a better chance of winning a World Series with Medlen and Hudson lined up to pitch in the first round.
"I know it's unconventional," he said. "I know it's outside the box, and I know I'd get fired if I was the manager. But this is what I would do if I was the Atlanta Braves."
