Tracy McGrady the pitcher, maybe
« on: February 03, 2014, 12:57:33 pm »

Seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens, who is a special assistant with the Astros, has worked with McGrady on his pitching.

Former Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy told a television audience on Friday night that his “sources” tell him McGrady is throwing 90-mph and is likely to pitch for an independent team.

“He’s not there yet,” Clemens said via text when asked if McGrady had a chance to pitch for the Skeeters. “(He) needs more time and needs to react to live hitters and balls coming back (toward) him.”

FWIW, McGrady is still only 34.  Seems like he should be 40.
