I kind of figured he end up in NY. I thought Houston might make a run at him but ive always said Boston was the 3rd horse in this 3 horse race. Theres no telling what you will get from him only time will tell and to bicker and fight with each other at this point is pointless. For the NYY fans I agree he cant be any worse then what youve been sending out there lately. But honestly I take Matsuzaka for 6 yrs at whatever it is 50M+ over Clemens at 1 yr 30M. I know its pro rated.
GOM, you know me I like your post but to bring up Schilling being 1-1 against Lieber is a reach. Santanna lost to Zito in the PO, but I still take Santanna 10/10. Wasnt the 1 loss to lieber the game were he really fd his ankle up?
With Clemens you get someone who might give you 6 innings, only time will tell. Its an improvment def from a quality stand point. But for the Yankees in all honesty to have a shot the need Wang and Moose to stay healthy. You also need somone to beable to get deeper into games and at this point you don't have that. Pettitte,Moose, and Clemens are all 6inning guys at this point in time(subject to change, not saying they wont eventually go deeper), Hughes is a 5-6 inning guy anymore then this and you will burn him up quick, hes to young to have to go 175 innings+. And as for your 5th guy I'm not even sure who that is at this point, but looking at all of that your BP is going to be in for a lot of work this summer, and this is were having all these old pitchers might come back to haunt you.
Im not saying the Yankees wont be in contention, to do so is ignorant, but they do seem to have more ? this year then normal, if anything this should make for some good baseball, so lets all get along and sit back and enjoy!
