Who will be the final one?  

[Baines]

This one's really pretty tough.  They all have their pros and cons.  I ended up going with Burks but thats basically just wishful thinking because he's my favorite to use on the game.

John Franco has been around forever but as a reliever I could easily see him sticking around for a while as long as he keeps getting it done kinda like Jesse Orosco.

Julio Franco is another one who's been around a long time but is still getting it done.  I've heard that he's pretty hardcore into his training routine and is in excellent shape but is also the oldest at 45.

Santiago is only 39 and has also been successful recently but hopefully he doesn't have anything more come from being named in the Balco controversy.

Clemens is performing at the highest level of the bunch but I'm not all that optimistic considering he was all set to retire last year.

Burks is also only 39 and is somebody I would have considered as a favorite all along but I don't like the fact that he was unsigned until well into the spring.

I think the Big Cat is probably on his last legs but you never know.

Lets hope all these guys stick around as long as possible and carry on the RBI tradition.

Gotta be Benny.  He's fuckin' ripped nowadays.  Even if the BALCO thing bites him in the ass, it won't matter.  The rest are on their last legs.
Burks is on a farewell tour, hoping for a ring.
Clemens is just messin' around.
Julio has gotta retire soon.  It's getting ridiculous.
John Franco is also barely standing.

I'm going with Juilo. He's fucking jacked. He'll play until he's 73.

I'm an idiot, I went with the Big Cat, because I thought he'd be the first to retire (I can't read).  I've got to agree with BDawk, Julio looks like he'll play forever.

[erhajj]

I think that you would have to go with the fittest player and I think that would be Julio.  He also plays 1B nowdays and that is less demanding that catcher or pitcher, where the next fittest guys (Roger and Benito) play.  
Burks has been hurt a lot recently and that isn't an indication of being able to play for that much longer.  Galaraga is a huge fatass right now.  John Franco has been hurt a lot.  I have to go with Julio.

Santiago... that guy is a machine!

[Gantry]

Is Santiago still catching?  Can't see those knees lasting 1-2 more seasons...  

I'm going with Julio Franco, he is so money...

[TβG]

i've got to go with old "bend-a-toe saint taco"

he can switch leagues and dh if need be, he's younger and pretty solid mentally and physically in my opinion.

[Gantry]

Bump for those who haven't voted...

[GreatScott]

julio franco will play until he dies.  nobody even knows his real age.  I gotta think hes about 50.

[ultimate7]

Bump, those that picked Burks are losing
