No More Nomar?
Written by Zach Sanders

Evans Clinchy, NESN:

Nomar was in position to claim his place among the all-time legends of the game. His teammates loved him. His fans revered him. His peers had all the respect in the world for him: Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter were the first two American League shortstop phenoms to come along in the late 1990s, but even they thought Nomar was better.

They don't anymore.

But it's hard to tell who we're supposed to believe in this Nomar "retirement" saga. San Francisco Chronicle staff writer Susan Slusser, who reported last week that Nomar is "widely expected" to call it quits? Or WEEI's Lou Merloni, who says he's "intent on playing in the majors" in 2010?

My guess is Nomar weighs his offers and calls it quits in the end. It seems like the time may be right for Mr. Hamm to settle down.

I will remember Nomar for his Red Sox days more than anything else, with a blip afterward. Nomar was very good (11+ WAR in 2002-03), and I hope that is what everyone will remember.
