Rich Aurilia isn't expected to return to the Giants, but he isn't ready to retire just yet.

"As far as next year, I definitely want to play if the situation is right," Aurilia said in an email to ESPN.com. "I understand that I would mainly be a utility, pinch hitter-type player, which I'm alright with."

Aurilia hit just .213 in 122 at-bats in 2009.
