2015 rolling retirees

23yo phillies prospect matt imhof, who lost his right eye in a freak training-room accident last june

cj wilson

future "oh yeah that guy"

aren't we all

we're all day to day

Not getting any younger.

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.

@EricFisherSBJ
Nick Swisher officially retires as MLB player, joins Fox Sports as studio analyst

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

weird all these guys retired in 2015 and we're just now hearing about it

cory luebke, who maybe deserved a few more chances than he got (if not with the pirates)

Both Weaver brothers are retired, but we'll always have the tacos we shared together.

Joe Nathan To Formally Announce Retirement

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

sub-Zito

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)

i would imagine he's done, yeah. or should be!

every once in a while i think about his 2004 playoffs and sigh

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.

goodbye ras trent

sam fuld has officially retired (and taken a job as the phillies' 'major league player information coordinator')

hey fuld, what # is tommy joseph again?
fuld: i don't know, but i know who does. hold on.
fuld: 19
thanks fuld!

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.

fuld popped

carlos belTRAN

i'll miss watching him play, he always seemed like a good guy.

andre is fading into the ethier

Not that they all don't make a lot o fmoney, but Ethier made a ton of dough for an ok player.
