Advancing age is the cruest to baseball players

[CaliCuse]

Age slows re actions and reflexes and strength. Mo Derek won't be unaffected. Posada wasn't nor was Willie Mayes. Even Satchel Page admitted defeat at some point. If Giardi is smart he will use Mo sparingly this year and go with Robertson or even Soriano more Use Mo in a runaway type of game so as not to insult him. If Mo's cutter doesn't have movement its a pitch that anyone can hit . He can't throw 95mph + any more. This should be his hast year if he is as smart as I think he is.

I think Mo has hinted this will be his last
