T-minus 30 minutes until the Rocket makes his 2007 debut. What can we expect of Roger Clemens this year?
As I've mentioned earlier, I think Clemens will be a top-tier AL pitcher this season, but not a Cy Young candidate. The poor Pittsburgh Pirates should offer a an easy warm-up test for him today though (he was 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA against them last year, and is 5-1 all-time vs. Pittsburgh), even if he only lasts five or six innings.
If you've got Clemens on your team, and you don't have a glaring need for him right now, he might make good trade bait if he has an outstanding debut. Again, it's all about selling high and getting the most bang for your buck.
