But back to Renfroe... I know this isn't the best example at all... but I clearly remember Mike Schmidt tearfully announcing his retirement in early May of 1989 because he felt like he wasn't performing up to his own expectations and was turning into a liability for the team. His numbers weren't good, especially for him, though he was 39 years old. But his numbers upon his retirement ****ing blow Renfroe's away. He had 6 homers, 7 doubles, 28 RBI and an OPS+ OF 91.

Hang em up Hunter, I might actually gain some respect for you.

Just to play “devil’s advocate” (not disagreeing with you because I don’t disagree) but Schmidt was beloved in PA and a shoo in HOFer. Renfroe is a journeyman who will be forgotten almost immediately after he retires. Maybe he can’t yet face that reality.
