Ted, Tom,
There's no doubt in my mind that Pettitte can be effective for a few more years. I don't know if he wants to do it. He talks about retirement every year and has been since he was 32 or 33.
I know he's an unusual guy compared to most in that he seems to truly value family time. He may have difficulty finding a $14,000,000 a year job in the private sector. It would be hard to walk away from that kind of money. The first year the market decides he's "only" worth $6,000,000 might be the year he goes.
