I think this would be a big negative for both the Yankees and Red Sox if Clemens does not come back. Seems like the Yankees are counting on him more then anybody.

ROUND ROCK, Texas -- Seven-time Cy Young winner Roger Clemens isn't prepared to say whether he'll be back for another season.
"I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. I'll make that decision when it comes," Clemens said in a story for Monday's editions of The Daily Texan. "I'm in good shape, but I'm nowhere near baseball shape. Mentally, it's going to be another challenge for me."
Clemens, a free agent who had a 7-6 record in a shortened season with the Houston Astros last year, said teammates got him to come back last year.
"If somebody makes a phone call, and I think I can do it again physically, I probably could," Clemens said. "The only reason why I'd continued to play was because of my teammates calling me."
He said he is enjoying working with younger players.
"We've got in Houston our elite camp on Monday and Tuesday, so that'll be fun," he said Saturday after throwing the ceremonial first pitch for the Texas Longhorns' alumni game.
Clemens is choosing among returning to the Astros, retiring or rejoining the Yankees or Boston Red Sox, his first major league team.
Clemens' agent, Randy Hendricks, said earlier this month that if the Rocket pitches, he probably wouldn't start his season until May or June.

| Fuck it, time for the yanks to move on. They could use him but there is no guarantee that Clemens would bring them a world series ring. |

I agree Tommy. This guy thinks baseball revolves around him. Plus you cannot tell me he hasn't been taking roids the past decade. |

| Clemens just doesn't want to go to Spring Training. He just wants to keep practicing with his son in the offseason and be ready to go May 1st. It's no different than a NFL veteran waiting til the end of training camp to sign. I don't like Clemens doing this stuff almost yearly now but the fucker can still pitch. |

The two biggest things from his comments were that "he would consider playing if his teammates called" Well, he is best friends with Andy P and has stated many times that Torre was the best manager he ever played for.
And # 2, he never said he WASN'T playing.
All I am saying that Clemens at the end of June would be a HUGE boost to anyone who grabs him... |
