Troy Percival (shoulder tendinitis) is contemplating retirement after his latest injury placed him on the 15-day disabled list.
Percival has flown him to California to ponder his future, according to manager Joe Maddon. The 40-year-old closer hoped to return to form after an injury-riddled season in 2008, but he was a shadow of his former self. He is 0-1 with a 6.35 ERA to go along with a 1.68 WHIP and an opposition batting average of .305. He did have six saves this season with zero blown saves, but he could never shake the pain out of his shoulder. Should this be the end of the line, Percival will finish with 358 career saves.
