Finally updating the WATN Page (http://dee-nee.com/rbi/wherearetheynow.shtml) and was wondering about Ellis Burks status in MLB. Is he hurt? Does he have a contract? Did he officially retire?

Cool, for some reason I thought he didn't sign. Probably because I know nothing ab out MLB anymore...

Updated WATN, thanks!

He's back on the DL, needs another surgery on his knees. That's two this year already.

I think all of here are starting to get worried. Could this be the end? I don't know if you've done this in the past, but we could have a memorial service for the last guys as they retire.

On a positive note, I read an article on Ellis awhile ago and it said that he was trying to hang with the coaches more because he wanted to make it as a manager one day.

I dunno why this is even a topic in the RBI forums since Ellis Burks isn't even in RBI.
