Go after Mussina?

purely on sentimental value, as Moose has been one of my favorite pitchers.

I thought for sure he would get to 300 wins 2 years ago, now, I doubt it.

Moose isn't getting ANY swing and misses lately, so perhaps pitch to contact with a guy who throws 8 different pitches working with Dave Duncan would be worth a 1 year trial until Carp returns.

Dude is turning 39 this December.  I'm sure he wouldn't come cheap, though, so I'd say no.

Mussina is done.  I'm sorry, but 87 MPH heat with no movement doesn't get hitters out.  The last 33 hitters to go up against the Moose has gotten around 19 hits.

I think he's done, guys.

here in NYC, he has become unable to put guys away.  Even when he hits his spots, he's getting hit fairly hard.

I listened to an interview with him on one of the Yankees' blogs, and he seems mystified.  I think it's a combination of not being able to amp it up with two strikes--he's only hit 90 a couple of times in the last three or four starts that I've seen--and getting crushed when he does miss.  He had a run of solid starts before the last three disasters, but they were against KC, the White Sox and a Cleveland team that I believe was slumping a bit at the time.  Even the "Solid" starts before that were barely quality starts: ie 6 inn. 11 hits, 3 ER against TB, July 15.

I like Mussina, always have from the time I lived in Baltimore during his (and my?) prime, but I think he's not going to significantly turn this slide around, and therefore should be a "pass."

Watched him pitch his last game...his career is over.  When he wasn't getting rocked his outs were loud.  No control, little movement, nothing but grapefruits.  

Mussina was once a really good pitcher, no doubt, and he never had what one could call electic stuff, but he got by on location, movement, and changing pitches like a slot machine.  Now he's gone from having average velocity (92 or so) to below average velocity (86 ish), less movement, and less stamina...I think the guy's had a good career, but he's done unfortunately.

But I can't stand watching games that he pitches.  He works so slow it is painful to watch.
