Brian Giles gave it a go, but his balky right knee was finally too much to overcome. As a result, Giles has ended his comeback try and will instead retire.
It's not like this is huge Dodger news, since he was only on the team for a cup of tea. But it is worth noting because he was one of the more underrated players in recent history.
With Pittsburgh from 1999-2002, he hit 35+ homers each year and made the All-Star team twice. He then had a few more solid season in San Diego before hitting the DL on June 23 of last year and never coming back.
The chances of making the Dodgers were pretty slim anyway, and the signing of Garret Anderson only made it worse. I definitely give him a lot of props for even trying, though. No shame in that.
