If he had not gone to the Astros, we’d be talking about #46, for sure, already. Now? He probably needs at least 2 more really good seasons in NY.

When you look at where Pettitte sits on these lists and you think about all the big games he’s pitched, you figure that his #46 will be retired as well.

Mussina’s RSAA in his first three Yankees years: 34, 7, 23. And, NWs were 18, 15, 15. Outside of 2006, his “walk-year,” he never came close to those numbers again. So, yeah, that should be part of his Yankees legacy too.

This is definitely interesting because I think the Yankees were hoping for Mussina to be closer to having an Andy Petitte like career with the Yankees.

Of course the last few years kind of hurt him but I wonder what it would look like if you looked at these same pitchers and took the RSAA by year and the NW by year, to see how Mussina’s first 3 seasons with the Yanks compare among these guys.
