Scott Rolen WTF

[HammerDown]

Can someone please explain the never-ending fascination with Scott Rolen to me? I keep hearing all this chatter and all these rumors about teams trying diligently to lure Scott Rolen out of retirement. Why?! Now Don Mattingly is begging him to be their answer at 3rd base? And what is he waiting for? For the HGH to clear his system? Everyone knows this guy was a massive roid-head.

Well, not everyone then I guess. But still, I also do not understand the facination with him. At least not now, in 2013. He had his time, and a good time it was.

However, his time has now passed....

c'mon! he's only 38 and he's got an ops+ of 85 over the past two seasons!

...not to mention the usual tendom and ligament injuries from 'roids, ala Nomar.
