    I always loved his moon shots in his hay day, but it was long overdue.

    I gotta be honest, I thought he had retired after last season. But, he was a pretty good player in his day. Best of luck in retirement.

    No more Mr. Warning Track. I have never seen a player fly out on the warning track in all my life. Too bad Bochy didn't use him properly last year or maybe he would have a job this spring.

    Flying out to the warning track was his M.O. his last couple years in San Diego as well.

    He did it everywhere. Atlanta, SD, SF, you name it. If anyone could have benefited from HGH, it would have been him.

    Maybe the warning track shots just stood out more his last few years because he wasn't hitting over the wall as much those years.

    My friends and I could basically call it everytime when he was with the Braves. When he went to San Diego, it just got worse.
