Here's hoping you can live a long and healthy life Ryan. That in itself would be a victory.

Gotta be heartbreaking. I hope those who support him now continue to do so.

So is it safe to drop him in my deep keeper?

A 5th round pick gets a 2 mil signing bonus?

Absolutely. This is sad from a baseball perspective, but I completely agree with Jose's sentiment.

Why the heck is he retiring? ZIPS had him projected for like a 750 OPS, IIRC.
