CARLOS GUILLEN RUMORS
The Retirement Of Former Mariners Shortstop Carlos Guillen
Bottom of the ninth, tied at one. One out. Runner on first and third and Lou Piniella calls Carlos Guillen to the plate. Fans in the stadium are curious but remain on their feet, cheering.

Major part of Tigers' turnaround retires
Carlos Guillen is one of my favorites.
Because he didn't have perfect English skills, he was never a favorite with TV and radio reporters, but I always enjoyed his honesty.
Guillen was traded to Detroit from Seattle on Jan. 8, 2004, in exchange for Ramon Santiago and Juan Gonzalez. (No, not that Juan Gonzalez.)

He's BACK!
Infielder Carlos Guillen, who began his major-league career with the Mariners in 1998, has signed a minor-league deal with Seattle that includes an invitation to spring training.
The Mariners have Chone Figgins and Kyle Seager in the utility role already don't they?
