John Delcos over at LoHud reports that Tom Glavine threw 90 pitches in a simulated minor league game. More interesting however, is this exchange:

When asked what his thoughts were heading in to his last week ever in
spring training, Glavine said, “maybe it is … maybe it isn’t.’’

Personally, if Glavine gets to the 300 mark (which seems extremely likely) its hard to see him returning for the 08 season. From some of his remarks from the off season it seemed his primary reason for returning is to get to that milestone, and he's always expressed a desire to spend more time with his family. Short of the Mets giving him a Clemens style deal that allows him to stay home more during the season, its hard to picture him coming back.  And Omar and Randolph don't seem the type to make that type of offer anyway, nor do the Braves, especially considering they did not make him an offer this past winter. With the current state of pitching across the league I wouldn't be against Glavine staying, but between his age and his previously stated views towards spending time at home it just seems very unlikely.
