Longtime Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts, who spent last season with the Yankees, will retire after a productive 14-year career. Roberts himself broke the news in an appearance on the Steve Gorman sports show on FOX Sports Radio (audio link; h/t to the BaltimoreSportsReport.com). Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com reports on Twitter that Roberts confirmed his intentions to hang up the spikes. Roberts, who just turned 37, will always be known for his time in Baltimore. After two years as a solid regular, Roberts broke out with a stellar 2005 season in which he posted 7.2 rWAR and 6.6 fWAR on the back of excellent all-around play. Though he never again reached quite those levels, Roberts was an above-average to excellent performer over each of the next four years. That track record of consistent production led Baltimore to award Roberts with a four-year, $40MM extension that covered the 2010-13 campaigns. Unfortunately, things turned south the moment the contract began to pay out, as a cascade of injuries conspired to wipe out large swaths of each of his next four campaigns. And Roberts never really regained his form when he was on the field, slashing a meager .246/.310/.359 over just 809 plate appearances during that four-year term. The ending was not, perhaps, quite what Roberts envisioned when he made the difficult decision to join the Yankees on a one-year deal after spending his entire career in one (rival) organization. He logged 348 plate appearances in New York — somewhat remarkably, the highest annual tally he had managed since 2009 — but slashed just .237/.300/.360 with five home runs and seven stolen bases. He was ultimately released to make room for the acquisition of Stephen Drew. While it is easy to be distracted by his inability to stay on the field after his age-31 season, Roberts was one of the better players in the game at his peak levels of performance. He logged nearly two-thirds of his career 30.3 rWAR and 28.4 fWAR during that 2005-09 run. 今年被洋基簽走，過去13個球季都待在金鶯的前face Brain Roberts(37歲) 決定退休 2010時跟金鶯簽了4年40M的合約，但這四年他飽受傷病困擾，包括腦震盪還有其他傷勢等他這四年的三圍 .246/.310/.359 只有809個打席合約走完後金鶯便決定不再續約，Roberts與洋基簽了一年的合約今年在洋基348個打席也是他自2009年以來最多，三圍 .237/.300/.360 5HR 7SB 之後為了清一個位子給Stephen Drew，Roberts遭到釋出 http://ppt.cc/Vo4p Twitter: Exchanged text messages with Brian Roberts tonight. He confirmed that he's retiring. Says he'll always be an Oriole. Roberts said he enjoyed every minute he had with the #orioles. Said it was crazy how fast it all went by. Fans ask why he signed with NYY if says always will be Oriole. Cause he wanted to play another year and O's didn't try to re-sign him.

Roberts, who turned 37 this month, was released by the New York Yankees in August after hitting .237 in 91 games. He said two "very good teams" were interested in signing him in August, but he decided against it. As the year went on, he said it became clear that he could no longer play at the level he demanded. 37歲的Roberts 今年8月被洋基釋出後，有兩隊對他有興趣很顯然地他已無法找回過去的身手，Roberts決定拒絕、並在今年退休 http://ppt.cc/J-ff 金鶯黑暗時期的臉阿..... 生涯好像沒打過季後賽? 金鶯 2012進 Roberts受傷今年又進 Roberts卻不在金鶯了.... 不知道會不會簽一日合約回來退休 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 220.129.221.92 ※ 文章網址: http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/MLB/M.1413634283.A.918.html ※ 編輯: zhickun (220.129.221.92), 10/18/2014 20:11:43 ※ zhickun:轉錄至看板 Orioles 10/18 20:12
