Rest-of-Season Projections
Hinske was released by the Diamondbacks on Thursday and plans to retire, the Reno Gazette-Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
The 35-year-old Hinske was previously outrighted to Triple-A Reno two weeks ago and had batted just 1-for-18 since leaving for the minors, likely convincing him to hang it up. Should he follow through with his intention to retire, it would spell the end of a 12-year major league career, highlighted by an American League Rookie of the Year campaign in 2002 in which he batted .279 with 24 home runs, 84 RBI and 13 stolen bases, all career highs.

If his 2012 season with the Braves is any indication, Hinske's career may be coming to a close. The 10-year veteran hit just .197 and had a .583 OPS while providing below average defense when he saw the field. His walk rate has been steadily on the decline while his strikeout rate has been on the rise, and he's limited to first base and corner-outfield spots even as a part-time player unable to hit lefties. Now 35, Hinske will serve as a bench option for Arizona after signing a one-year deal with the D-Backs in December.
