Bryan Hoch,
Mark Feinsand and
Pete Caldera all have articles on Mo's mentorship of Luis Vizcaino. From Hoch:
Struggling through his first few months with the Yankees, Luis Vizcaino needed a shoulder to lean on. Mariano Rivera offered.
Now, with Vizcaino plugging away as one of the club's more reliable relievers, Rivera's gesture is paying dividends. But the closer seems reluctant to take much credit for Vizcaino's success.
"It's my job," Rivera said. "I think we have to accept that it's more than pitching. I've been here for [13] years and I have seen a lot. If I can help anybody, any of my teammates, to be better, I'm going to do that."
