Yes. Smoltz is a team guy, and a class act and he already agreed to lend his services however they're needed back in spring training. That includes middle relief.
He's been great over a few innings. The problem is right now he can't go deep into the game, but the first one or two times through the lineup he's doing fantastic.
I think they'll give him one more start, at least. They're being patient with him, because they want him to be ready for the postseason.

I think worst case scenario, though, and he'll be middle relief or setup. That's a pretty good worst case scenario.
