Twins outfielder/designated hitter Rondell White is leaning toward retiring at the end of the season, which would end a 15-year career.
This is sound thinking on Rondell's part. I only wish that he would think of retiring before the season ends.
After coming off the DL most recently, his legs are still a problem. Gardenhire has rested him for most of the Twins last home stand just so he could play on grass at KC; and then Rondell is in the game at DH. Suprisingly Rondell did get a base hit last night and he did work the pitches better than most of the Twins batters. But Rondell is not the bat the Twins can build an offense around for the next couple of weeks, much less till the end of the season.
Ultimately Rondell in or out of the lineup makes very little difference to the Twins at this point. One bat whether hitting or not can't change a Twins offense which has become simply offensive.
