Scot Shields undecided about retirement
The last we heard of right-handed pitcher, Scot Shields, was that he was leaning towards retirement.
“I would say probably,” Shields said in September about the possibility of retiring. “There's a business and a personal side of it. From the business side, you look at the bullpen and you can see all the young relievers they have coming up.”

Los Angeles currently has the best starters ERA in the league at 2.79 even without John Lackey, Ervin Santana and Kelvim Escobar. However the bullpen is carrying a very high 7.54 ERA.

Scot Shields Calls It A Career
No surprise; Halos Heaven has more on the erstwhile Angel. One of my favorite guys who, at times, I felt sure was likely to be a starter, but never quite had the repertoire for it. No matter; even in the shadow of K-Rod, he was still an amazing and durable pitcher. I will miss his excellence, and hope he manages to come back in some wise to keep in touch with the organization.

I always wonder about how managers deal with the various attitudes and personalities on a roster. Baseball is a marathon, not a sprint; which means there are going to be lots of ups and downs. It's easy to deal with a player when he's going good, but what about when he's not going good?For example, take look at the following quotes from Ozzie Guillen and pitching coach...
