Pettitte Wants To Make Sure He's Done
From Mark Feinsand:After Mike Mussina retired following his first 20-win season, Pettitte considered going out on top after helping the Yankees capture their 27th World Series title.There was only one problem: he wasn’t ready to hang up his spikes.“There’s no doubt it did. I couldn’t have wrote a script any better than the way last year ended,” Pettitte said. “I was like...

Is Mike Mussina a Hall of Famer?
I don't know. But if I had to make a decision right now, I would say that he belongs in the Hall of Fame.
I think after a few years, when we see that pitchers aren't coming close to 300 wins, aren't coming as close as Mike Mussina, he'll get voted in. To win 300, a pitcher has to average 15-wins-per-year over 20 years. Most pitchers either don't pitch that long or aren't successful...

Now, will he pull the Clemens?
Mike Mussina announces his retirement, despite being just 30 wins away from 300, and he's the first guy to retire after a 20 win season since Sandy Koufax.Well, congrats to him, I guess. But will he still stay away in mid-May, when NYY offers him $10 million for a few months of work after the injuries hit?(Oh, and if anyone really wants to have the serious argument that he isn't...
