This is what the problem would be for me. It's guaranteed that Kipper will make the team no matter what if he does not retire. He did not have a good year last year, albeit under some personal issues. I am not convinced that if he was really thinking hard about retirement that he would have kept up with his off season training like in years past. I don't see the point on having a 80% Kipper when we could use the year to figure out what they have in Ramo/Berra.
Don't get me wrong, if he has been working out full time and is 100% that is a different story. I would also want him to agree to a trade if by some miracle Ramo and Berra both show they are ready. This part is highly unlikely, so he really would not have to worry about it.
As for the poster that thinks Kipper will get them close to 10th, you are dreaming. This team is really bad on paper. Kipper and his great play would probably take them out of the bottom 3, but i am not sure that they would even get out of bottom 5.
