Musgrave split 2009 between San Jose (20 H, 13 BB, 18 R in 10 1/3), Connecticut (3-0, 5.76, 23 BB in 29 2/3 IP) and the Fresno Grizzlies (1 R in 3 IP). Overall, he had gone 13-12 with four saves and a 4.95 ERA in 172 minor league games.

He landed with the Rouen Huskies in France in 2010. He had to decide quickly if he wanted to play in France, as the Huskies had to finalize their roster for the 2010 European Cup by June 1st. Mike was still undecided on the Thursday of that week, but his plane landed in Paris on Friday and he was in a Huskies uniform on Sunday. One of his new teammates in Rouen was Aaron Hornostaj, a teammate in the Giants chain.
