im voting yes, but im being hopeful, Its gotta be hard to rehab after several injuries in his career especially at his age..

if he does retire though, hes no doubt in my mind in the HOF..

No, I don't know why, vince, but something tells me he's done. Just a gut feeling about it.

probably the picture, he looks pretty old there

I think he's done, young pitchers have trouble coming back from shoulder problems, Smoltz is 40 something. If he does come back it won't be as a starter.
