Clemens wasn’t worth it, in my opinion, but many Yankee players will tell you that the Clemens acquisition was the reason they made the playoffs. Go figure!!!

Personally, I didn’t think Clemens was a 3.00 ERA pitcher anymore. He was leaving the national league, the national league central only to go to the AL East. A boost in the numbers was to be expected.

Not to mention, Clemens hadn’t been a difference maker in the play-offs in a while. I’m pretty sure his last three post-seasons have been disappointing.

Jeff–

If pitchers were paid by how many pitches they throw, the starting rotation of any team managed by Dusty would be the five richest men in America.

Of course, the Sox’ marquee pitching acquisition didn’t fare much better. Gagne was cheaper and has a rad beard though.

Josh Beckett and Curt Schilling just completed an intricate hi-five to commemorate this arithmetic.

That is a grand idea. Teams should start paying their pitchers based on how many pitches they throw.
