Rest-of-Season Projections
Malaska's father announced that his son has decided to retire from baseball, the St. Petersburg Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Malaska had left the Devil Rays' camp over the weekend, when it became evident that he'd probably start the season back in the minors. "He believes he can still pitch in the majors, but the desire isn't there," Malaska's father said. "The bus rides (in the minors), the hotels, the whole nine yards .. it wasn't him being ticked off at anybody. He just wanted to get on with his life." Malaska is now back home in Providence, R.I., and reportedly now plans to finish his degree in physical therapy.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2005
2004
2003
Malaska showed some promise with Boston early in 2004, but was eventually dispatched to Triple-A Pawtucket after some shaky summer outings. He walked too many batters and got himself into immediate trouble in too many outings (.409 BAA in pitches 1-15). Touted as a lefty specialist, Malaska held left handed batters to a .188 average, but the club needed him to do more than retire the occasional lefty. On a team that prides itself on the versatility of its players, specialists who are not that special will have a hard time making the team. There's an opening for a second lefty after Alan Embree, but the Red Sox will not reserve a spot for a southpaw. Malaska will have to earn his way onto the roster.
