Rocco Retires

Too bad Rocco Baldelli of the Rays had to retire. Just 29-years old, his promising career was wrecked by a disorder that causes muscle fatigue.
He ends his career with a .278 average with 60 home runs and 262 RBI's. When I first saw him break in with Tampa I thought he would be a future star. Without the physical ailments I think he would have been.
There is a good ending though to the story. Although he won't play anymore the Rays have hired Baldelli to work in scouting and player development.
