May 6, 200719 yr Roger Clemens just announced that he will return to the Yankees. His first start will be as early as later this month, but no later than the 1st of June.
May 6, 200719 yr Just heard the news and let me tell you I'm SHOCKED! :scared: Kidding of course. Yankees OBSCENELY overpaying for someone in the mid 40's, I don't care how good Clemens has pitched over the years, just ridiculous.
May 6, 200719 yr How much is he goin to get? I have not heard it yet but you know $$$$$$ is no object with "The Boss".
May 6, 200719 yr With Pavano having to get Tommy John surgery they had to land Clemens if they want to be in contention late in the season.
May 6, 200719 yr This does not automatically make the Yankees the favorites to win the World Series, like I have gathered in my opinion on ESPN. Their offense is great, don't get me wrong, but their bullpin has been worked awful hard, and with an older Roger, he will only go about 6 innings, then the bullpin will have to come in again. They have a great rotation.......7 years ago. Andy Pettite, good, but older and can't go as long as he used to. Mike Mussina, decent, but older again, and has been injured all year. Now Roger, has the intimidation and history and the pitches, but no the stamina. These three will work the bullpin HARD and come August their arms will be dead. They do have 2 younger pitchers in Wang and Pavano. I trust Wang to be there for the Cy Young finals, but Pavano is a little shakey.
