So then you can't really claim he'll be a great influence to the younger pitchers, can you?
-
lol @ you taking Roger Clemens' word.
-
No, I'm laughing at you saying the Yankees don't need a closer. BTW, it was a nice flat fastball he threw to Beltre.

You asked me numerous times if Clemens was the difference between the playoffs and the couch, the two wins over Igawa, was worth $26 million dollars. You asked me this numerous times trying to convince me that spending that much money on Clemens was worth it. While this may be a legitimate concern, I go back to the thinking that Jon Lester at the league minimum is a smarter investment than Clemens at $26 million. A young Jon Lester should be able to put up comparable (READ: NOT EQUAL) numbers to a 45 year old Clemens. Is "fairly confident" worth $26 million? Yes. In a market where Gary Matthews, Jr. can get 5/50, Drew can certainly get 5/70. Besides, Drew will play in about 120 more games than Clemens will.

Lies.

The Yankees, given the state of their pitching staff, had the best chance to land him. That and the fact that they were apparently willing to spend $30 million on a pitcher who is breaking down. He's cheated age for a while, but there's a freason he only pitches four months a year right now. This whole argument is based in hypotheticals. IF Clemens pitches well, it's a good move by the Yankees. There is just reason to have extreme doubt that a guy switching to a superior offensive league and who can't pitch more than 6 innings will be successful. There's just reason to have extreme doubt that he will not perform in the ALE. There's just reason to have extreme doubt that he will be worth such a steep monetary investment, especially with the luxury tax. Yes, after this offseason the Red Sox can't cry poverty, but none of the moves have the risk this one does, IMO.

I assumed you would understand the post because we were both talking in extreme hypotheticals. So answer my question since I already said that it would be worth the investment if his two wins over a replacement player were enough to get us into the playoffs. So answer mine. If Lester outperforms Clemens in the playoffs, will you think it was wise for the Sox to not drop $30 million? Let me ask you another question. How much would you have spent for four months of a 45 year old pitcher who can't get out of the 6th inning. i don't want hypotheticals, I don't want comparisons to Tavarez or Lester (or Damon), I want a dollar figure. How much would you have spent on Clemens?

You made a Mighty Mighty Bosstones reference. That post = the win -
You still haven't acknowledged any of my posts.
-
Could be. It's not likely, and that's why you don't throw $30 million around like that.
-
Of course he would. But that's an extreme hypothetical. If Lester goes undefeated in the postseason and beats Clemens on his way to doing so, is it a good move by the FO to not spend $30 mil on Clemens? Besides you take the $12-15 you could have spent on Clemens, the $9 million that Lowell won't command, and the $9 million from Clement and throw all of that at ARod in the offseason.
