Another One Bites The Dust

An offseason blast from the past. Tom Gordon is probably going to retire:

Righthander Tom Gordon, who has not pitched since July because of an elbow injury, is expected to have surgery. The Phillies have a $4.5 million club option, with a $1 million buyout, on Gordon in 2009.

You may remember him as inspiring a Stephen King book as well being one of Joe Torre’s abuse targets in 2004 and 2005. The best thing he did for the team, however, was be a Type A free agent who signed elsewhere allowing the Yankees Ian Kennedy and Joba Chamberlain to grab in the 2006 draft. Thank you, Tom.
