Dedicated to all things Mike Mussina and his enshrinement in Cooperstown
I stumbled across a fun tool on espn.com today. It’s called Career Assessments and allows you to project the rest of a player’s career. Now this is obviously meaningless because Mussina retired. But if you are very bored, as I was, you can project Mussina’s career had he chosen to make a run at 300 wins. James [...]
