Encouraging signs for Glavine
No discomfort after throwing off a mound for first time since August
By Mark Bowman / MLB.com
ATLANTA -- Tom Glavine gained further encouragement on Friday, when he
enjoyed a short, pain-free mound session.
Throwing off a mound for the first time since undergoing surgery on his
left elbow and left shoulder in August, Glavine threw 15 fastballs without
experiencing any sort of discomfort.
"It felt good, and I feel good right now," Glavine said, hours after taking
this latest step in his attempt to prove that he can still pitch.
Glavine, who has said that his arm "feels better than it has in a long
time," plans to throw off a mound again on Tuesday and Friday.
Over the past few weeks, Glavine has become more confident about the
possibility of continuing his career, which includes 305 wins -- the
fourth most among left-handers in Major League history.
His desire is to pitch for the Braves, and earlier this week, John Smoltz
said that he didn't believe his good friend would pitch anywhere other
than Atlanta.
But Glavine has acknowledged there is a possibility that he would choose
to pitch elsewhere if he isn't satisfied with any offer made by the Braves.
The 42-year-old has also said that he's not interested in signing a Minor
League contract.
