Hunter considering retirement after 2012: Angels OF Torii Hunter is considering retiring after the 2012 season, he tells the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Hunter would prefer to retire an Angel but would also consider Minnesota.''I am going to retire an Angel," Hunter said. ''Next year is my last year, and I'm going to retire an Angel. I'm going to evaluate it this offseason. That's when I'll know. It's 60-40, to the positive, that I'll keep playing." (Updated 09/04/2011)

Fantasy Analysis
Hunter has dealt with injury and slumps this season, and he admitted that the process has taken its toll. ''I feel good now, but I was hurt the first two months, and I was just evaluating everything, like, man, I can't move," he said. ''And then it just went away, and now I feel good, so now I'm on the positive side again. 'You don't want to see your skills diminish. You don't want to linger..." Hunter is just one homer short of reaching 20 for the 10th time in the last 11 years. He is batting .280 with eight home runs and 26 RBI since the All-Star break, and historically gets better in the second half. While his average has taken a bit of a hit this season, he is still hitting the ball out of the park and driving in runs so continue to view Hunter as a low-end Fantasy OF in mixed leagues.

12/08/2011 18:07 Pujols' move leaves St. Louis in shock, Anaheim in awe
The Cardinals are World Series champs. The Angels have been home for October the past two seasons. But one decision by Albert Pujols makes each franchise feel like they have changed places, Scott Miller says.
Torii Hunter put up his usual production despite making the move full-time to right field last season and continued to be a solid option in Fantasy. He would slug just .396 during the first half of the season but woke up after the All-Star break, posting a .472 mark over his final 68 games. While his batting average on the year slipped a bit to .262, he hit 23 home runs with 82 RBI and a .429 slugging percentage. He also played in 156 games -- his most since 2007 -- and got on base at a .336 clip. While his days of hitting 30-plus homers might be gone at age 36, the addition of Albert Pujols to the lineup should give him more protection and more opportunities to produce. Hunter has averaged 24 homers with 88 RBI and a .275 average over the last 11 seasons so consider him a viable option in all mixed leagues on Draft Day. (Updated 1/11/12)
