Galarraga retires

Andres Galarraga retires with 399 career home runs.

Kevin Appier might be next. He will not go back to the minor leagues and will retire unless another team decides to sign him.

Former Rookie of the Year Ben Grieve will be sent down to Indianapolis so I need to see when he will be in the Ville next.
Grieve hit .355 with no homers and nine RBI this spring as a non-roster outfielder, but had played sparingly of late as it became obvious he would not make the team. He asked the Pirates for some time to make up his mind about reporting to Indianapolis, since he has the option to become a free agent.

"I'd have to get readjusted to minor league life," he said. "I've been in the big leagues for seven years and no one wants to go back and play in the minor leagues again."
