Re: jeff kent retires

I believe he is a Hall of Fame player. His power numbers are better than any second baseman ever. I never thought he was a good defensive player, but he made the plays that he needed to make. In the end, it will be his homeruns that carry him into the Hall.

It's sad to see such a nice guy call it quits.

Re: jeff kent retires

Great player and even a better teammate and guy. I have heard its a toss up for who was more hated in the Giant clubhouse between Bonds and Kent.

Elect Bonds and Kent to the Hall in the same year.
