He should have retired then.

[italstallianion]

He should have retired when steroids were made illegal.

[italstallianion]

Or at least when testing became more prominent.

[Emmz]

Yeah, he was kinda a product of steroids, but hey, hey got a Cy Young out of it. At least he has something.

[Keeper]

Put up ridiculous numbers on steroids. Look at his K/9 from 2002-2004.

 

12.5

15.0

12.5

 

His H/9 in 2003 was 4.0. His WHIP was 0.692. Video game numbers. The Barry Bonds of closers.

[Emmz]

That was back when John Smoltz was a closer.

he certainly was the best closer during that time frame

[italstallianion]

Don't forget the 60+ consecutive save streak. Straight up dominance. Of course he never did any of that for us...

[CanadianSox]

and he is Canadian....

[Emmz]

Too bad he took steroids though...

If he didn't he wouldn't have a thread about him retiring. He probably wouldn't have put up those amazing numbers and would have been just another closer. How many threads are there about other closers retiring??

How many good closers are retiring? Get back to me when Rivera and Hoffman retire.

I think you missed my point. I'm saying without the roids he wouldn't be anywhere the type of closer he was and this wouldn't even be a minor deal like it is now.
