Who among us wouldn't take 14 more years of Mo at a high level back after the 1998 season? 2. If this is it, I'm glad he's going out on top instead of becoming average or worse. I'd love a 42 save season with a 2.20 era. That said I want 3 more seasons. I hope he’s not finished but:

Am I the only one who thought Mo's comments were way more ambiguous than the press is making them out to be? I guess "I know if 2012 is my last year, but I won't say" = "I'm definitely retiring."

If for some ungodly, unforseen, cataclysmic event happens and the Yanks fall short of the title in 2012, you can look for Mo to be back in 2013. Mo wants to go out on top. I don't even want to think about Mo's successor, but I am fairly sure that Soriano was brought in for insurance in case Mo left on short notice, but if his first season was any indication, he is not up for the task. Robertson seems like a much better fit, and if he ends up as the closer in 2013, it will be odd if Soriano is setting him up or pitching the 7th inning and getting paid a lot more cheese than the closer.

I just don't envision another contract negotiation in his future. But hey, should be a helluva farewell tour. And no one wants to be "the guy who follows The Guy," but at least Robertson seems capable and has a good head on his shoulders. Frankly, I expect this to be Mo’s last hurrah.

That said, what else is there for the man to prove: he has the rings, the record, the money. Predicting that this season might be the last for a 40-something athlete is not a real stretch.
