ST. LOUIS (AP) -If John Smoltz had picked the other finalist for his services in August, he could be pitching in the NL championship series for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 42-year-old right-hander has zero regrets after signing with the team the Dodgers swept in the NL division series. The St. Louis Cardinals plugged Smoltz into their rotation and are considering bringing him back with a one-year deal that could allow the pitcher to exit with a season that lives up to a career destined for the Hall of Fame. The Cardinals believe Smoltz has plenty left.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
