he had a great carrer but like so many he wont just go quiet , its sad when ya see aging stars that dont realize its there time to hang it up.

Maybe Kenny Williams had it right in Chicago.......

Why does every washed up, has-been of a ballplayer get tied to the Rangers franchise?

Nevermind. I know why.

I wish more teams would follow the Blue Jays' example and drop the extremely overpaid used to be star. The Yanks need to do that with messrs Giambi and Mussina.

Giambi and Mussina will both be gone after this season so releasing them now wouldn't make much sense.

Texas needs pitching, and lots of it.

Who started this rumor? Thomas needs to retire. The Rangers don't need to keep getting other teams' problem children.

Hey, Frank Thomas still has plenty of power left. Sure, his fielding skill has decreased, along with his average, but he can still drive in runs and hit homers.

He is still definitely a threat, some team is going to pick him up. He get a job before Barry.

maybe keep Mussina, but Giambi is worthless. he is taking up a roster spot. he can't hit, field or run. he is a liability. His worth is entirly based on his performance from earlier in his career. its time to give a younger player a shot. Beside, the money is already spent - its a sunk costs.

Milton Bradley is the most under appreciated player in baseball. Texas is showing him a great deal of disrespect (even with recovery from knee surgery) for even considering Thomas. As a Padre fan, I still miss and respect this guy even with some of the drama.

The Big Hurt should have hung it up after last year. I hope he ends up some place where he can start at DH and have success but he really needs to go ahead and retire at the end of the year.
He probably will have a hard time finding a team to sign with after his history now in Toronto and with Chicago of blowing up and being a crybaby.

Field Marshall, those Padres BK unis are sweet! Even sweeter when you look at the Toronto unis taken out of the attic.

the worse uni ever was when the white sox wore shorts , that was just plain bad

If I was Thomas and I can't throw, field, run or hit anymore I would just sit back for now count my 8 mil. dollars and bid adieu to baseball. He has had a long and lucrative career and "baseball has been very very good to him".

Yeah, let's see: can't play, throws a public fit worthy of a 2 year old with special needs when he gets sit down for that pathetic play, then throws almost as big of a fit when released.

A whiny public relations nightmare who can't play. Who wouldn't love to add that to your roster?

give Burlee's rosta spawt 2 dis homie stat

What a selfish piece of crap, his quote"I aint going out like this" says it all. He gets 8 million for 60 ab and 3 homers.......he says look what i did against Boston,,,,,,,,we swept them.....that was against a tired team coming off the longest road trip (miles) ever...those pitchers were just groving them. e's finished....done....dont let the door hit yer fat butt on the way.


another useless blue jay

Thomas can still hit a little, if a team is willing to put up with his crap. How about the Angels? Mariners? Both could use a little sock in their batting order. Tampa?
