John Smoltz says that he will be a starter once he is ready to pitch for the Red Sox after missing most of last season following major shoulder surgery. Smoltz, whose signing is to be announced formally Tuesday, is the only pitcher in baseball history with 200 wins and 150 saves. "It's going to be (as) a starter," Smoltz said when asked how Boston would use him. "They're going to make sure that I'm ready to not only pitch, but pitch strong down the stretch and into the playoffs because that's what I like to do."
