Farve "Officially" Done

Today Brett Farve retired again, this time supposedly for good.

It's a shame that his last year had to end so badly, but that's what happens when age catches up with you. Good of him to realize this and not try to force another year or two out of his career. Now the Jets can turn to Kellen Clemens (or the draft, or Jeff Garcia/Derek Anderson) and move on.

This also means that the Packers get the Jets 3rd Round Pick this year and that the Jets get the Packers 7th Round Pick next year.

Jeff Kent Retires after 17 years

Jeff Kent, the best offensive 2B of all time, made the call to hang up his cleats today.

So the question is, is he a Hall of Famer?

Now a 377 HRs, 1,518 RBI, a .290 BA and a .500 Slg are pretty good. Damn good for a 2B in a time when those numbers just didn't happen for 2B. And 5 All Star appearances and one MVP award (that probably should have gone to Bonds, but oh well) look damn good. So I guess so. I don't think he was Rogers Hornsby good, but he was definitely Ryne Sandberg "change what people think of a second baseman" good. So congratulations on a wonderful career Mr. Kent, and best of luck to you when the voting comes.
