Thanks for the link, very good article. It is a shame that Alan had to run into injuries. He had so much talent and there's no telling what he could have become. He'll be missed as I've followed him all thoughout his career. I hope he stays with the organization for a long time.
On a related note (pardon the pun), Alan's retirement marks the end of the Benes brothers in professional baseball as he joins his brothers Andy and Adam in retirement.
I still think Andy hung up the cleets too soon. He was pushing 35 when he retired but after 2002 it was clear that he had the stuff to still be comptetitive. At least he went out on top.
