...but what can Moyer teach any of our current pitchers about actually pitching?  Your gameplan has to fit your repertoire, no?  None of the Mariners are truly control artists and only Hultzen has remotely Moyer's caliber change-up (Felix has a good one, but he's a finish product at this point and his is shaped differently).
I would not hire him to pitch for me...when his career is actually over...then I would hire him to coach for me in the minors first...he shouldn't just jump right into the big league coaching assignments...he would need to prove he can still lead when not playing.  But that's just me.  I do understand the lore of bringing back a Seattle legend with deep ties to the community and our organization and I would, indeed, be amused to see Moyer throw for the Ms as a 50-year-old just once. :)
