Jimmy Rollins

While J-Roll is not officially retired, he has not played since the beginning of the season with the White Sox. After going unsigned for the remainder of the season, Rollins joined Fox Sports and worked on their season coverage. Rollins also joined the booth during his playing days when the Phillies were out of the playoffs.

Rollins obviously has an attachment to the camera, and having him and Schmidt together would be an interesting combination. What other team has their franchise’s top two hitters in one place all season long?

Jimmy would have to officially retire, but that should not be a major issue considering he went unsigned last year after being cut.
