saw last night that Yankees closer Andy Pettitt has pulled the pin so that he can spend more time with his wife and four kids. Perhaps the SA Bite could offer him a job. Life in Adelaide would be less stressful and probably more fun for the family than in USA.

Wasn't he done for drug use a few years ago?

Don't think Pat Kelly, Tony Harris and the ball club want anyone with that kind of record involved, plus, they have a few experienced closers in Darren Fidge and Tom Becker.

According to Wikipedia he was named is several court documents and investigation reports relating to Drug Use in the Major Leagues, at the start of spring training 2008 he admitted using them to heal an elbow injury and nothing else and apologised to fans. It didn't say if he was sanctioned for drug use.
