So when Tom Glavine signed a one-year deal with the Braves just shy of his 42nd birthday (it was Tuesday), with a sinking fastball that tops out in the low 80s, he was still confident in what he could offer this team: innings. Glavine has thrown at least 200 innings in 14 of his past 18 seasons. Twice when he didn't, they were strike-shortened seasons. "I still think I'm more than capable of doing that," Glavine said. "I'm not sitting here saying I'm going to pitch 250, but 200 is a realistic number. ... If I pitch 200 innings, then I've done a lot to help this team win and whether or not I'm the guy that gets credit for the win, you have to wait and see. But at this stage of my career, I don't care so much about that. I want to help us win." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution
