Okay to much crap to quote one person and respond

Mariano has implied that he wants his last season to be 2009, talking about how he just wants to pitch in the new yankee stadium before he retires
his "stuff" is definately on the decline, and he's implied (not recently but in years past) that he doesn't want to keep pitching if he's not a great closer

Also don't bunch me in with the guys talking about tom gordon and farnsworth... i understand nathan is sick, hence i want him to replace mariano

I can't think of something to compare it to, but the yankees can/should offer him more money than anybody...and as long as they promise him the closer role in 2010 it would probably be the best oppurtunity for him
