He spent parts of six seasons with Seattle before joining Detroit in 2004 and hitting at least .318 in three straight seasons. He carried a .285 batting average for his career with 124 homers and 660 RBI. "It’s hard because you only make this decision one time in your career and in your life," Guillen told MLB.com.
