It's over? I'm not sure it ever started. When he came up, I thought that one day they'd move him to the bullpen and he'd be a great relief pitcher. I guess that didn't happen.

My list starts with Barry Bonds. And please get it done sometime in next couple of weeks.

He's a left handed pitcher and he's guaranteed to make $1.75M this season. He'd be nuts to hang it up now.

I'm hoping the Angels retire him by the end of April.Veteran lefties can always find work though. Ugh.

There is something about back-up catchers and left-handed relievers that keep them hanging around forever.I bet Chad Kreuter and Charlie Moore are still banging around some AAA team. Is Terry Mulholland on an Opening Day roster?

Is Benito Santiago still hanging around somewhere?

Julio is old but doesn't deserve to be on this list. The guy does a very good job in the role he has for the Mets.

Yes he does a good job with the younger players but he's the Mets backup 1B who will be 49 this year.

This guy pours his guts out for the Astros for 19 seasons, is 70 hits short of 3000, and is basically making a farewell tour in his 20th season with the team.However, I do think the Astros are going about it the wrong way. He should be splitting time with Burke at 2nd, and Pence should be starting in the OF.

Didn't Luis Gonzalez hit 50 doubles last year?

52, but we're here to bash the old guys... remember?

I want to see him play at 50 years old. Funny thing, he can STILL hit, and from what I recall, he uses one of the games heaviest bats. I think being as effective as he is at his age is remarkable.

My bad. I'll get in the spirit...Moises Alou is old!

Royce Clayton: consistently bad over the years but has managed to rack up over 1850 hits in his career. He's never had a positive OPS+ season and has slipped both offensively and defensively.
After seeing how a career minor leaguer like Dan Uggla performed last year, you'd think MLB organizations would be willing to take a chance with a untested and cheap player rather than run a known commodity like Clayton out there.

As a fan of a different team in the AL East, Mariano Rivera. This guy has been lights out for way too long and I keep waiting for him to drop off.

A couple good candidates in Biggio and Clemens.
I vote for Bobby Cox, that's enough now.
