Player Notes
January 22, 2009
Jeff Kent announced his retirement today as expected, according to the Associated Press. Kent stated, "For the kids who might want to be a baseball player some day, there is a chance that you could play this great game, if you are not the biggest guy, you are not the fastest guy and if your not the smartest guy."

Our View:Kent has played in 2,298 games in the majors, and ends his career with 2,461 hits, 377 homers, 1,518 RBI, 94 stolen bases and 1,320 runs scored. He held a career .290 batting average and .356 OBP and should be considered for the Hall of Fame.
January 21, 2009
Second baseman Jeff Kent has decided to retire, according to MLB.com.

Our View:Kent spent last season with L.A., hitting 12 home runs with a .280 batting average. His career numbers make him a likely candidate for the Hall of Fame, as he hit .290 with 377 home runs and 1,518 RBI.
November 6, 2008
Jeff Kent has filed for free agency, according to the Dodgers' official website.

Our View:The 40-year-old is best suited to serve as a designated hitter at this point of his career, and may ultimately decide to retire if he can't find a suitable fit with a team.
October 30, 2008
Jeff Kent is expected to retire, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Our View:Kent is likely a Hall of Famer, as he has more career home runs than any other second baseman with 377. Kent is also a career .290 hitter with 1518 RBI.
September 30, 2008
Jeff Kent will not start Game 1 of the NLDS series between the Dodgers and the Cubs, according to the Los Angeles Daily News. Blake DeWitt will start and hit seventh.

Our View:Apparently Kent's knee isn't healthy enough for him to be in the starting lineup which means the Dodgers will have better defense with DeWitt but far less pop at the plate for their offense.
