Still needs to retire.

If he wanted to retire as a Brave, he got that chance. He hasn't performed worth bringing back next year, so if he comes back, I hope it's for another team and he forfeits the chance he has to retire as a Brave.

I agree, it is time to move on and it is not worth giving him another season when we can get some of the talented guys in our system a seasons worth of experience.

Provided his rehab goes ok and he can prove himself in spring training, I don't see a reason why a 1 or 2 million dollar contract can't be floated out to him. Just don't hang all your hopes on him to start over 30 games any more, go ahead and get a few more starting pitchers and let Glavine be #3 or #4.
