He Muldered It Over And Decided To Retire

Mark Mulder announced his retirement: http://www.seattlepi.com/scorecard/mlbnews.asp?articleID=275076


Either way, Mulder has been pretty irrelevant to me since he left the Athletics, from a fantasy standpoint at least. I always really liked the "young trio" of A's pitchers: Hudson, Mulder and Zito. It's weird to think that one of them is at least contemplating retirement. Mulder always seemed to me like he had the build to be a pitcher deep into his thirties, if not his forties. The big lefty was 6' 6", after all, and though ESPN lists him as a svelte 215 pounds, his strong jaw makes him seem like he was built to stand the test of time. Apparently not.

I'll be rooting for Mulder to find a place to settle in and pitch this year, if only so I don't have to watch the A's stud youngsters start calling it quits just yet...
