Moose Not Feeling Loose?

From the Daily News:

Mike Mussina, who also appeared on WFAN, said he's taken more time off so far this offseason than in years past because of his elbow problems in 2005. He said he's expecting to be fine next year but admitted, "At my age (he's 37), I don't discount it."

Considering that Mussina is a key for the Yankees success in 2006, it's concerning to hear him say, just about 2 months before pitchers report, that he expects to be fine but would not be shocked if he's not.

I hope the Yankees are monitoring him closely and are not just waiting for him to show up in Tampa (and then find out that he's not going to be able to help the team).

I hope so too, but if these clowns think that Jeremy Reed is "no better" than Bubba Crosby, who knows what the braintrust is up to?

I thought Brain Cashman was making the calls now not the braintrust.

If Moose isn't sure of his health, then do we want to get rid of Pavano?

Sure... See what it takes to sign Clemens, put feelers out on Armas Jr.

If Kerrigan is all he's cracked up to be (I don't but humor me for a minute) take a flyer on Byung_hyung Kim, Brett Tomko, Kaz Ishii, Jeff Weaver, or any of the many low-buck offerings out there on the scrap heap of starters. Or, find a low-buck bullpen arm, if you want to go that route

They have 6 other guys that are capable of starting, plus other options that are out there. He doesn't want to be here, he isn't all that good, get rid of him while you can.
