Borowski Hangs Up The Spikes

By Drew Silva [February 24 at 8:17pm CST]Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that 38-year-old reliever Joe Borowski has decided to retire from baseball.

 

"I guess 38, 87 and 88 wasn't looking good in people's eyes," said the former Indians closer, referring to his age and fastball velocity, respectively. Borowski was a free agent this winter, but only drew mild interest from the Tigers and Phillies before talks ultimately flat-lined.

 

He pitched 12 big league seasons, making stops with Baltimore, Atlanta, the Yankees, Cubs, Tampa Bay, Florida and Cleveland along the way. He finishes with a 4.18 career ERA and 131 saves, leaving him 80th on the all-time list.

    Well, good for him, he had a respectable career and was pretty good for us in 06.

    I had no idea that he was that old. He did do well with us, one of the many reclamation projects. Btw, where is Todd Jones right now, still with the Tigers? He is old as hell too.

    He retired at the beginning of the off-season.

    We will be seeing a lot more of this soon. Guys like Frank Thomas, Luis Gonzalez, Ray Durham, and a few others have received no offers yet.

    Durham i think might get picked up by some body but for the minimum.

     

    As for Thomas and Luis...I think they both will hang it up.
