Delgado Will Retire After 2008 (according to a confidant)

[Benjamin Grimm]

It's not "obvious that he changed his mind." You're overlooking the other possibility: That you were wrong.

="Valadius":37nz4qvd]Who says I made any excuses? Obviously he changed his mind. So would I, after having the kind of second half he had last year.[/quote:37nz4qvd] Yeah but we probably would have heard about it by know, most likely around the time the Mets exercised the option. I mean who knows, we still may hear about it, but you'd think there would be a story saying "Delgado almost did the Mets a favor." Then again, there was nothing anywhere, all year long that suggested that he'd do the Mets a favor and retire, even with his first half.
