The Yankee pitching staff was already in trouble, having little depth behind Chien-Ming Wang, but the recent loss of Mike Mussina to retirement does not bode well for the Bronx Bombers or fantasy owners. The Moose has been good for 11 wins, 140 strikeouts, and a respectable steroid-era ERA of between 3.00 and 4.00 in each of his 17 seasons in the bigs. His consistency will be missed.If I were Brian Cashman, I'd forget about AJ Burnett, who looks too much like Carl Pavano, and take a look at Jon Garland. GMs haven't paid too much attention to Garland yet this off-season, but in his last seven seasons he hasn't won anything less than 10 games and was a serious Cy Young candidate in 2005 with an 18-10 record, plus ALCS and World Series wins. His career 4.47 ERA is on the high side and he won't get too many strikeouts, but he's consistently around 200 innings, something Burnett has reached in only 3 of his 10 seasons.

Sorry to hear the Moose retired. I really like the Moose. It's just Sarah Palin I can't stand.
Can help thinking about the Saturday Night Live skit with the "mother humpin' moose."
