John Smoltz was a star with the Atlanta Braves for over 20 years before a shoulder injury derailed his 2008 season and the team opted not to renew his contract.

Smoltz went 2-5 with an 8.32 ERA in his stint with Boston, was subsequently released, and has just signed on with the St. Louis Cardinals.
