I thought about unretiring him for a season and see if he could get another 100 hits to reach 4000, and his ratings don't look that bad yet (20-80 scale) but I get the feeling if he did manage to sign, he'd be a part timer at best. Plus with him being fragile at 43/44 yrs of age, he may just spend a lot of the season on the DL too.
I think I'll just leave it as is, at the end of the day it was his choice to retire.
