Quote:Tracy Ringolsby_ WHERE WILL CLEMENS GO?: The Astros can re-sign Roger Clemens as of Monday. Don't bet on it. The Astros have been playing well, ...Talk in baseball circles is owner Drayton McLane is hoping Clemens drags his feet on a decision and signs with the Red Sox or Yankees. That way, McLane can save about $3 million a month to try to make it look as if Clemens was a mercenary who went East for money instead of staying home and helping the Astros.The LinkI dont see any hints that this originates in Houston.

Quote:Quote:ok say he does come to the astros who do you sit down wandy or taylor.or neive... Assuming they all hold to form, which is a big assumption IMO, I think Nieve is out of the rotation. I'm not sure if he'd move to the BP or AAA, though.
Quote:Getting two steps ahead, if the rotation became Roy, Andy, Roger, Wandy and Taylor, what do you think would happen when Backe comes back?

Quote:Quote:Getting two steps ahead, if the rotation became Roy, Andy, Roger, Wandy and Taylor, what do you think would happen when Backe comes back? I have no expectation that both Wandy and Taylor will continue to pitch as well as they have.
Quote:Quote:Getting two steps ahead, if the rotation became Roy, Andy, Roger, Wandy and Taylor, what do you think would happen when Backe comes back? Taylor pitches from the pen but takes Roger's starts on the road. Or were you thinking that Roger's going to drag his arse around the country with the team for $15mm? A little na?ve, I feel.
