So Roger Clemens joins the Yankees, again. $28m pro-rated - talk about desperation. Although my sense is that it’s better to pay $6-10m (or so) extra for a $18m pitcher, than to pay $6-10m extra for a $4-5m pitcher (*cough* Carl Pavano *cough*).
My question is: is it really legit for the Yankees to make such big announcements during the 7th inning stretch? The Yankees already infamously have a really long stretch - what better way to ice the other team’s pitcher? Not that it made much difference today, but still…
