Mazzone was making $450,000 per year. And, that was on the really high end. That’s nothing near what Moose was making as a player.

The question is: Does he want to do it, with the travel, low pay, etc. I doubt that.

What do pitching coaches get paid? I’m not talking about the regular guys, I’m talking about the “stars” like Dave Duncan, Leo Mazzone, or Rick Petersen. Does anyone know what the top pitching coaches make?

Not like Moose really needs the money. He might just find that he misses the game.

~~Is Moose pitching coach material someday?~~

Does he have the smarts and the street cred to do it? No question – whatsoever – in my mind.

Good job Moose…An unprompted apology (or at least expression of remorse) towards Pavano shows a lot of class. Is Moose pitching coach material someday?

Fair point.

Boy, for a guy who reportedly didn’t like media attention, now that he’s retired, Mussina sure has a lot to say, huh? Granted, it’s not at the Curt Schilling level…but…still…

I don’t find it so strange that he’s being more talkative now. As a player, you have to be very careful and very political with what you say, especially in New York. Now that there are far fewer consequences for his words, he’s free to share his thoughts. A guy as intelligent as Mussina certainly has things to say so I’m not surprised that he’s opening up a bit more, now that he’s unencumbered by the restraints of being an active player.

I would read a Mike Mussina blog.
