It appears that Troy Percival, who sits in 10th place on the all-time saves list, is about to retire. The former Angel had been working out with the Detroit Tigers. After throwing a one-inning simulated game, his arm was "killing me," he told Tiger Manager Jim Leyland, and later told the press: "I always wait for something miraculous to happen. I probably don't think it's going to happen, but I'll keep doing what they ask me to do. I've been fighting it all spring. I thought I could give this organization an opportunity to make a decision. I tried to go back to the arm angle I'm accustomed to and it's just not there. There's too much pain. Right niow, I can't help this club physically.. Mentally and with my heart, I think I can, but I have to be realistic and say there's just no way, physically, I can go out and help this club now."

Troy was an inegral part of the Angels success whern the team won the 2002 World Series.
