Prospect Retro Request: John Smoltz

djshelto — Tue, 20 Jun 2006 15:21:11 -0000

could we get a Prospect Retro on John Smoltz? As a Tiger's fan, I'm constantly involved in debates on the (in?)famous Smoltz-Alexander Trade from '87. I don't recall Smoltz being a top-notch prospect at the time, but I wasn't in very deep either. I'd like to see what John thinks/thought about him at the time.
