I think it would be a good idea for the Braves to try and trade to bring back Maddux. I grew up loving watching him pitch for the Braves and in his last 4 starts his e.r.a. is 2.52!! With Smoltz going back to the pen and Hampton looking like he will never pitch I would love to see Maddux back and I truely think he can help out as well. Huddy, Glavine, Jurrjens, Maddux, James/Reyes. Not a bad starting rotation if you ask me. Im not sure what we would have to give up for him but I wanna see it done.

What do you guys think??

If the Braves are going to be serious about making the post season this year they have to address the need for starting pitching.

Unless they can get a younger guy and get him signed to an extension like Brad Penny, CC Sabathia, or Ben Sheets, I think that Greg Maddux would definitely be a welcome addition to the Braves pitching staff.  I wouldn't think that the price to acquire him would be too high at his age.

No thanks. He's a 5 inning pitcher now. Loved him when he was here though. There was no one better than Maddux in the 90's.

No thanks. He's a 5 inning pitcher now.Even if this is so....He is still better than anyone else the Braves have right now as a 5th starter.

No thanks. He's a 5 inning pitcher now.
actually, he's gone 6+ in 6 of his 8 starts this year.  5 is the least he's pitched in any game.  i agree if you mean he doesn't have the stamina he used to, but he is so economical with his pitches he can usually go 6-7 innings in 80-90 pitches (he's only thrown 100+ once).   and again, he is better than the fifth starter options the Braves have now, but i don't think we'll get him.  i haven't even heard that the Padres have any inclination to move him.

As much as I'd love to see Maddux back as a Brave and the 3 musketeers reunited (for those of you who were under a rock last decade that would be Glavine Smoltz and Maddux), He's not as young as he used to be. If I were the Braves then I would look into it but I wouldn't go crazy about it. Maybe offer them a mid-caliber prospect because (I must admit this shocked me) he's still doing a phenomenal job as a pitcher at both reading the hitters and getting them out. Go Braves!
