03/06: Around the League: Retirements
Two former Yankee relievers, Paul Quantrill and Gabe White
announced their retirement this past weekend.
I liked
Paul Quantrill and he always seemed to be a gamer (
and someone who stood up for his teammates) but he never seemed to regain his form
after tweaking his knee in Japan during the first game of the 2004 season. Of course, he was overused during the season (95.3 innings) which probably didn't help the healing process. Nevertheless, he did have a nice career and was one of the more dependable relievers in the league for a while.
The same couldn't really be said of
Gabe White, who had a less than stellar run with the Yankees which reached its nadir in 2004 when he put up an ERA of 8.27 in 21 innings. Of course, I'll always remember him as an amusing figure -
that mustache and gold chain cracked me up every time.
