Wonder if Fielder's bellyflop slides contributed to his condition. Each one looked painful.
― Andy K, Wednesday, 10 August 2016 21:52 (seven years ago) link
That is pretty a pretty weird happenstance that the Fielder's both ended up at 319 homers.

@jcrasnickJonny Gomes is planning to play in 2017. "I've got some more pull homers in the tank," he says. He turned 36 in November.

Considering CJ Wilson is retiring to concentrate on his "racing career", I wish him luck on his operation shutdown.
I got to wonder how Derek Bell's turned out so many years later.

22yo david denson, the first affiliated baseball player to come out
probably makes sense; .229/.338/.368 in four minor league seasons is nowhere near good enough for a 1B/DH

matt cain will make his final MLB appearance saturday

only 32. cain was so steady for so long, and then just dropped off the table.
bronson arroyo retired, too.

On September 23, the Reds honored Arroyo with "Kickin' it With Bronson" night. Prior to the game, a ceremony was held with video tributes from manager Bryan Price and singer Eddie Vedder.[20] After the game, Arroyo held a concert on the field, performing Pearl Jam covers with his band.

i see on FB that Cain has been worth 2.4 bWAR during his current 6 year, 127.5 MM contract

speculating, but is this the end of the road for carlos beltran? he's 40, a free agent to be, and second worst in baseball by fWAR (-1.2, behind only pujols at -1.7)
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 28 September 2017 17:00 (six years ago) link
i would imagine he's done, yeah. or should be!

every once in a while i think about his 2004 playoffs and sigh
― mookieproof, Thursday, 28 September 2017 17:29 (six years ago) link
Beltran for sure. Wouldn't be shocked if this was it for Bautista too, tho he could still be a serviceable bench RF/3B/DH – he might not go for that.

fuld just sets up the weekly conference call with key information people and lets them address any outstanding issues and introduce new ones. he'll maintain good working relationships and make sure that any unresolvable issues are raised to upper management on a timely basis.
