It made you remember that if this team is counting on Mike Mussina down the stretch, or even in their next year plans, it would be a colossal mistake. He's going to get back to the mean sooner or later. The best possible option would be to let him go after this year and getting two compensatory draft picks. With his great year this year, I suspect Mussina would be a Type A and net us some very nice draft picks.

Incidentally, to briefly give an example of how important these compensatory picks can be, we got Joba Chamberlain as a compensatory pick from Tom Gordon when we didn't resign him and he went elsewhere.

While I don't have a lot of faith in either right now, I'm hoping Hughes has fixed his mechanics and Kennedy regains his confidence so that we will have two more arms to add down this second half run.
