Well, I saw earlier from Deadspin via Newsday that Clemens had agreed to a deal with the Astros for about $3.5 million per month, which would equal to about $10.5 million for the year. Then, when I went to find another source for it, it seems that this is not a done deal, and Clemens hasn't even spoken with the Astros since Sunday. Now, I'm willing to believe the Astros and basically every other news source on the web that the deal is not done, but I would think a deal for Clemens somewhere would be imminent. For that kind of money and considering how good he was last year, I can't figure out why he hasn't signed yet.
Last year, at age 43, Clemens had a 1.87 ERA, which basically means, if by some freak chance Roger Clemens is still available in one of your fantasy leagues, pick him up right now. I suspect he's gone, but maybe there's a small chance he's available somewhere, and make no mistake, he'll be pitching somewhere this year. I think Houston, not only because it's convenient for him as far as traveling is concerned, but it's also in the NL, and Roger's a smart guy who knows that it's a lot easier when you don't have to face the DH.
