After 14 years in the bigs, former Phillies catcher Mike Lieberthal is hanging it up. The Dodgers decided not to pick up his $1.5 million option back in October, and at 36, Lieby wasn't interested in looking for a new home with another club.

Among the highlights of his career, most of which was spent with the Phillies, Lieberthal was a two-time All-Star, and in 1999, he registered 31 HR and 96 RBI while batting .300.

According to Tony Jackson of Inside the Dodgers/LA Daily News, we may still see Lieberthal around the game from time to time.

Lieberthal said he would like to stay in the game in some capacity, possibly in broadcasting, but that he has no desire to coach because it would require him to start again in the low minors and work his way up.
