Maddux on Padres' spring training staff (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Greg Maddux knew it was time to quit pitching. He just wasn't ready to quit baseball altogether. The four-time Cy Young Award winner rejoined the San Diego Padres on Wednesday as a spring training instructor. He pitched for the Padres from 2007 until he was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers in August. Though his position is only temporary, Maddux hopes it will lead to a permanent coaching job.
