Yes, when a player gets marked as retired during the course of a season, he still has all his ratings intact. Once the game is saved, he gets put in retired.dat and the major difference between retired.dat and players.dat is that the batting/pitching/fielding ratings get removed, with the exception of BABIP - because this was a new field added at a later date and somehow missed the retired cull.
