Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz to a lesser degree weren't thought of all that highly coming up through the ranks. Not has high as Mercker and Greene were, who were both considered future Ace's and Cy Young winners. Another guy that was highly thought of coming up was Pete Smith. Whatever happened to him and Greene? I don't remember.
