Player Notes

March 31, 2009
It has been revealed by manager Eric Wedge that Joe Borowski was battling a strained right triceps muscle in spring camp and was unable to catch up, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Our View:In case you missed it, Borowski opted for retirement in February. The club was keeping his injury a secret.

February 25, 2009
Joe Borowski has decided to hang up his cleats, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Our View:He led the AL with 45 saves in 2007, but the 38-year-old hurler held a poor 1.92 WHIP over 16.2 innings last season, due mainly to declining velocity on his fastball.

August 2, 2008
Joe Borowski has reportedly been offered a minor league deal by the Red Sox, according to the Boston Herald. If the Sox sign Borowski, he would be eligible to pitch in the postseason even if he does not appear in the major leagues until after September 1. MLB rules require only that a player be part of an organization before September 1 in order to maintain postseason eligibility.

Our View:Borowski would not see any save chances in Boston if Jon Papelbon remains intact, and his innings would be very limited in a strong bullpen.

July 10, 2008
According to PA Sports Ticker, the Cleveland Indians have officially released former closer Joe Borowski.

Our View:Even if Borowski is picked up by another MLB team, his days as a closer are most likely over. Its safe to drop Borowski in all formats.

July 4, 2008
Joe Borowski has been designated for assignment, according to Scout.com.

Our View:Borowski has been terrible as a closer and the Tribe simply could not afford to keep him. Fantasy players shouldn't keep him around either, as his days as a closer for any team are over.
