I agree that Smoltz actually had no reason not to try to pitch this year as he didn't know what was going to happen after his surgery. However at 43, I think it's more thann just a matter of whether he wants to keep trying as it all comes down to whether anyone will give hmi another chance with salary, time left in the season, etc. to consider. He really doesn,t need to prove anything. I think the next guy we will see in this position is Pedro Martinez who probably truly is hanging on too long since he was already hammered the last time he pitched in the Majors.
