Jake Westbrook: Decides To Retire
Westbrook has decided to retire, Rob Rains of StL Sports Page reports.
ANALYSIS
The 36-year-old went into the offseason preparing to return for a 14th major league campaign, but did not receive enough interest from teams to warrant continuing his playing career. Westbrook posted a sub-4.00 ERA in just two of his final eight seasons, but he does have an All-Star selection on his belt as well as a World Series championship.

Westbrook looks to be near the end of his career as a disappointing 2013 saw him lose his rotation spot and have his 2014 option declined by the Cardinals. His 4.95 xFIP suggests his already high 4.63 ERA should have been higher. Westbrook attempted to switch to a cut fastball this season but it provided the same results as his walk rate was high again (3.9 BB/9) in 2013. Injuries this season and disappointing results have led Westbrook to contemplate retirement. It's possible he could catch on as a fifth starter somewhere, but it's unlikely he'll rebound to the point where fantasy owners will get excited about him again.
