Pirates waive Troy Percival (Read 65 times)

[joecap]

$6/1/$6

He also claims to be retired.

[Deleted]

could the old Raul Mondesi rule be in effect here???

[johnnybravo]

What was the old Mondesi rule?
If your stats really suck but you say you are retired, an owner is free from your contract?

I really can't remember

[Bobby]

He also said "I might try one more time to throw a bullpen (session). "

That would not be considered a retirement statement.

For Mondesi, see RETIREMENT in the LC.

[joecap]

So, then does that mean according to our rules that Percival should not be considered retired?

[Bobby]

Consider him "Not Retired" at this time.

Should there be more info or more quotes, please post a link that might be more definitive

Here's a link from last week:

www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=MLB&id=2011

In this Percival told a reporter that he is retired unless there's a miracle.

[Bobby]

that was the same day he made the bullpen statement
