    Troy Tulowitzki retires
    Should have been a top player but he never reach his potential.

    Troy Tulowitzki retired last Thursday, bringing an end to one of the more evanescent MLB careers of the 2000s. Tulowitzki made it through 13 seasons as a professional, though he played over 120 games in just seven of those. Various injuries kept him from playing full seasons throughout his career, and their compounding impact seem to be the reason he has given up on the game at age 34. It occurs to me now that Troy Tulowitzki, a player who mattered as much to me, a lifelong baseball fan, as any other player I’ve ever seen, probably won’t be remembered for too long. The guy who once seemed destined to become a Hall of Famer worthy of worship is now more likely to end up as just a guy to be vaguely remembered.

      I've known his dad for 25 years. He use to give me all the updates from high school baseball and up. Always wished he would end up a Giant. Good career minus the injuries of course.

                    Anything but solid
                    O.p. just said he played over 120 games in only 7 of 13 seasons-that is not solid, but rather inconsistent

                          Dumb? Check the numbers. I think not.

                                  he & Nolan didn't play long enough together but goddamn they were the sickest defensive combo on the left side of the infield that I can think off top of my head
