Truly hoping to catch him this year, as somehow I've always failed to do so in the past! [And always, always by a single day. Never fails!] Honestly when this season is over I'd LOVE to see him convert to bullpen (although I hate to see him as anything but a starter), just for sake of having him on the team a few more years. Kyle, I also enjoyed reading the post over at your blog; well done!

Not just because he must have a thing or two related to pitching experience to teach the kids, but also good to keep them grounded as they deal with their new found celebrity, to help them appreciate what someone has to go through to stay in the majors that long and the reality that the hype doesn't last forever.

Moose reminds mea little bit of Roger Maris. Doesnt really like talking to the Media, but he does it. Just wants to play baseball and go home.

Not every team can boast of this kind of relationship between the veterans and the kids... and who knows pitching like Mussina anyway? Real excited to hear about Mussina talking to the kids.

As others have already said, great job by Moose stepping up. He's the veteran in the rotation now (Pettitte too, but at least for the spring, he's going to have other things to deal with) and if he can help Ian or Phil even a little, then he's worth having around even if he isn't the Moose of old. Those two could do a heck of a lot worse. I’m also a big Mussina fan. As others have already said, great job by Moose stepping up.

I think he's over-criticized and underappreciated here. He is anything but introverted, as was stated by a fellow blogger here - he always seems to be available to the media. He may not be in a peach mood every time he's interviewed, but he is available. And I am not surprised that he wants the kids next to him. This is not the first time I've read, including here, that he's helped out with the newer pitchers. So, let here it for Moose! Amanda–
